Ingredients for the Classic Mojito:

  • 4 cl white rum
  • 3 cl fresh lime juice
  • 6-8 mint leaves
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • Soda water or sparkling water
  • Crushed ice

Steps to Make the Perfect Mojito:

  1. Prepare the Base: Place the brown sugar and mint leaves in a highball glass. Use a muddler to gently crush the mint with the sugar, releasing the aromatic oils without breaking the leaves too much.

  2. Add Lime: Squeeze fresh lime juice directly into the glass, ensuring it mixes well with the sugar and mint.

  3. Ice and Rum: Fill the glass with crushed ice almost to the top, and add the white rum. Stir carefully to combine all the ingredients.

  4. Top with Soda: Fill the rest of the glass with soda water or sparkling water, adding a fizzy note to the cocktail.

  5. Mix: Stir gently to distribute the flavors. The mint will release its aroma, blending with the lime and rum.

  6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime slice for a visually appealing presentation. Serve immediately.

Additional Tips:

  • Variations: Customize your mojito by adding fruits like strawberries, raspberries, or mango for a colorful and fresh twist.
  • Mint: Make sure to use fresh mint leaves to achieve the right aroma.
  • Ice: Crushed ice is essential to keep the drink cold without diluting it too much.
