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.
