Categories     Beverages

Time 10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (3 teaspoon) container crystal light low-calorie lemonade drink mix
2 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup rum
6 mint sprigs
3 cups club soda
6 lime slices

Steps:

  • Empty drink mix into a large pitcher, add water and rum, stir until drink mix is dissolved.
  • Add mint, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Stir in club soda.
  • Serve over ice in tall galsses, and add a lime slice to each glass.

Tips:

  • For the freshest mojito, use freshly squeezed lime juice and mint leaves. Avoid using store-bought lime juice or dried mint, as they will not provide the same bright, vibrant flavor.
  • If you don't have a muddler, you can use the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves and limes together. Just be careful not to over-muddle, as this can release bitter flavors from the mint.
  • If you like your mojitos on the sweeter side, you can add a little simple syrup or agave nectar to taste. Just be sure to add it sparingly, as too much sweetener can overwhelm the other flavors in the drink.
  • Garnish your mojitos with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for a refreshing, finishing touch.

Conclusion:

The mojito is a classic Cuban cocktail that is perfect for enjoying on a hot summer day. With its refreshing combination of lime, mint, and rum, this cocktail is sure to please everyone. Whether you're hosting a party or just relaxing at home, the mojito is a great choice for any occasion.
