Yield Serves 1

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 to 14 small mint leaves (see Note)
1 ounce fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon superfine sugar
4 ounces club soda or seltzer water
Garnish: Mint leaves, lime slices (optional)

Steps:

  • Muddle the mint leaves in a cocktail shaker with the lime juice and sugar. Add ice cubes to fill a shaker and pour in the club soda. Gently shake a few times to incorporate (remember: club soda is fizzy).
  • Strain into a medium or tall cocktail glass filled with ice. Garnish, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rum. White rum is the traditional choice for a mojito, but you can also use dark rum or gold rum for a more complex flavor.
  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh limes, mint, and sugar syrup will give your mojito the best flavor.
  • Don't over-muddle the mint. Muddling the mint releases its essential oils, but if you do it too much, it can make your mojito bitter.
  • Add the ice last. This will help to keep your mojito cold and prevent it from getting diluted too quickly.
  • Serve your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. This will add a touch of garnish and make your mojito look more inviting.

Conclusion:

The mojito is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, it's a great drink for both beginner and experienced bartenders alike. So next time you're looking for a delicious and refreshing cocktail, give the mojito a try!
