Refresh yourself with this Classic Mojito
Here's a classic recipe for a refreshing Mojito:
Ingredients:
- 2 oz (60 ml) white rum
- 1 oz (30 ml) fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons white sugar (adjust to taste)
- 6-8 fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
- Club soda (soda water)
- Ice cubes
- Lime slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Start by muddling the mint leaves and sugar in a glass. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently crush the mint leaves with the sugar to release their flavor without tearing them too much.
Add the fresh lime juice to the glass. You can adjust the amount of lime juice based on your taste preferences. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
Fill the glass with ice cubes. Crushed ice works well for this drink, but regular ice cubes will also do.
Pour the white rum over the ice.
Top off the glass with club soda, leaving some room at the top for garnishes and stirring.
Give the drink a gentle stir to mix all the ingredients together.
Garnish your Mojito with a sprig of fresh mint leaves and a slice of lime on the rim of the glass, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
Note: Feel free to adjust the sweetness and tartness of the Mojito by adding more or less sugar and lime juice according to your taste preferences. Additionally, you can also add a splash of simple syrup for extra sweetness if desired.
