Classic Rum Mojito Cocktail Recipe
- PREP
Make this for one or many, but whatever you do, don’t skip the fresh mint and freshly squeezed lime, they’re essential on this one.
You Will Need
1 ounce (2 tablespoons) freshly squeezed lime juice
2 teaspoons sugar
8 fresh mint leaves, plus more for garnish
2 ounces (1/4 cup) white rum
1 cup ice
1 ounce (2 tablespoons) club soda
Lime slice for garnish
Directions
Add lime juice, sugar and eight mint leaves to a cocktail shaker. Use the end of a wooden spoon or cocktail muddler to bash (or muddle) the mint into the lime juice and sugar. This releases oils from the mint and helps the sugar dissolve into the lime juice.
Add rum, stir well then pour into a glass filled with ice, leaving about an inch of room then top with club soda. Garnish with extra mint leaves and a lime slice.
