Mojito

Refreshing mojito cocktail with mint leaves, lime slices, and ice in a tall glass on a wooden countertop, with a muddler and lime halves nearby.

There is nothing like a good mojito. A wonderful drink anytime fresh mint is available.

  • 1 part light rum
  • 3 parts club soda
  • 10 mint leaves
  • 1 lime, cut into quarters
  • ½ part superfine sugar*
  • Sprig of mint to garnish
  • Tall collins glass
  • Muddler
  • Stirrer
  • In tall glass, place mint leaves, superfine sugar, 2 lime wedges, And squeeze juice of third wedge into glass
  • Muddle well.
  • Add rum and top off with soda, stir well and Garnish with fourth wedge and sprig of mint
  • The above recipe is the basic for a mojito. I use my own simple syrup made with mint tea and cut back a little on the sugar.
    If you are one of those that needs it cold, you can muddle mint, limes, and sugar in shaker. Add crushed ice and rum, shake and strain into glass. Top with club soda and garnish.
