Mojito
A Mojito is traditionally a Cuban cocktail made with fresh mint leaves and lime juice to balance the strong flavor of the rum. Perfect for summer, the secret to preparing this drink is to gently muddle the ingredients to release their flavors without shredding the mint leaves. While this drink gained most of its popularity in the United States during the 1980s, it's sure to be a hit at your next cocktail party!

Start with a tall serving glass. Add 2 Lime wedges and 3-5 fresh mint leaves. Add a teaspoon of Sugar and a dash or two of Bitters if you are feeling inspired. Muddle gently just enough to release the flavors without shredding the leaves. Then fill the glass with ice and add 2 oz of Light Rum. Top it off with a dash of Soda Water and add a slice of Lime and a sprig of Mint for a finishing touch.
Enjoy responsibly with friends! |
