Welcome to our cocktail corner! Today, we’re shaking up a classic: the mojito. This refreshing Cuban cocktail combines mint, lime, and rum for a drink that’s perfect for any sunny day or casual get-together. Let’s get mixing!

Ingredients

  • 10 fresh mint leaves

  • 1/2 lime, cut into 4 wedges

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

  • 1 cup ice cubes

  • 1 1/2 ounces white rum

  • 1/2 cup soda water

  • Mint sprig and lime wedge for garnish

Instructions

  1. Muddle Mint and Lime: In a sturdy glass, muddle the mint leaves and 2 lime wedges with the sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to release the mint oils and lime juice.

  2. Add Ice and Rum: Fill the glass with ice cubes, then pour in the rum.

  4. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a mint sprig and a lime wedge. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips

  • Muddle Gently: Muddle the mint and lime just enough to release their flavors without tearing the mint leaves into pieces.

  • Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter mojito, adjust the sugar to taste.

  • Chill Your Glass: For an extra cool drink, chill your glass before mixing.
