Yield Serves 1

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 fresh mint leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons superfine granulated sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 1/2 oz (3 tablespoons) white tequila
1/3 cup chilled sparkling water

Steps:

  • Using back of a spoon, crush mint with sugar and lime juice in a short glass. Half fill glass with ice and add tequila. Top off drink with sparkling water and stir well.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will make all the difference in the flavor of your mojito.
  • Choose a good-quality tequila. A silver or blanco tequila is best for this recipe.
  • Use fresh lime juice. Bottled lime juice will not taste as good.
  • Make sure your mint is fresh and fragrant. Bruise the mint leaves gently before adding them to the mojito.
  • Don't over-muddle the mint. Otherwise, you will release too much of the bitter flavor from the leaves.
  • Add the ingredients in the correct order. This will help to ensure that the flavors blend properly.
  • Chill the mojito before serving. This will make it even more refreshing.

Conclusion:

The tequila mojito is a classic cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its refreshing taste and delicious flavor, the tequila mojito is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
