Mojito Cocktail Recipe
The Mojito is an incredibly refreshing white rum cocktail with fresh mint and lime juice, cane syrup and a top off of soda water. Absolutely delicious.
Servings 1 drink
Ingredients
- 2 oz White Rum
- 3/4 oz Lime Juice
- 3/4 oz Cane Simple Syrup
- 8-10 Mint Leaves
- ~1 oz Soda Water
Instructions
- Add the mint to the bottom of your glass and pour the cane syrup onto the leaves.
- GENTLY press the mint leaves several times with a muddler to release their oils.
- Add the lime juice and rum, then fill with crushed ice leaving about 1 inch at the the top of the glass.
- Mix the ingredients with a bar spoon lifting the mint through the drink.
- Top with soda water and garnish with a nice mint sprig (clap it before you put it in to make it more fragrant).
Notes
If you don't have cane sugar on hand you could use granulated but I enjoy the extra layer of flavor that cane sugar ads.
And feel free to use any white rum you like, you could also do a little experimenting with dark rums too. With dark rum it would become a sweeter tasting drink with more caramel and spice notes, but maybe you like that!
