Time 5m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup water
1/2 cup raw sugar
5 slices ginger, cut roughly 5mm thick
1 handful kaffir lime leaf
1 lemongrass, stalk sliced
1 1/2 ounces rum, Anejo preferred
1 ounce ginger simple syrup
1/2 lime, cut into quarters
8 leaves mint
ice
sparkling water
1 lime, wheel
1 sprig mint
1 lemongrass, stalk

Steps:

  • Syrup: place the water and raw sugar in a saucepan over a medium low heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and add the lemongrass, ginger and kaffir lime leaves. Leave for a couple of hours or overnight before straining. The syrup will keep in a sterilised bottle for around 2 weeks.
  • Mojito: place the syrup, lime and rum in a glass and muddle with a muddling stick to release all the juice from the lime. If you don't have a muddling stick you can use the end of a wooden spoon.
  • Place the mint leaves in your hand and clap them together. Rub the mint leaves around the rim of the glass before popping them in the glass.
  • Top with ice and sparkling water. Stir to make sure everything is well mixed, and garnish with lime wheels, a mint sprig and a lemongrass stalk.

  • Prep your ingredients properly: Slice the lemongrass and ginger thinly, and tear the kaffir lime leaves into small pieces. This will help release their flavors more easily.
  • Use a good quality rum: A light or white rum is best for this mojito, as it won't overpower the other flavors.
  • Don't skimp on the lime juice: Fresh lime juice is essential for a good mojito. Use at least 1 ounce per drink.
  • Sweeten to taste: Start with 1/2 ounce of simple syrup and add more to taste. You can also use honey or agave nectar instead of simple syrup.
  • Chill your glasses: Chilling your glasses before serving will help keep your mojitos cold and refreshing.
  • Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint: This will add a pop of color and freshness to your drink.
