Print Recipe

The Mint Mojito Cocktail is a classic Cuban-inspired summer refreshment bursting with fresh mint, zesty lime, and smooth white rum. This crisp, invigorating drink is easy to make, customizable, and perfect for cooling down on warm days or entertaining guests with vibrant flavors and refreshing fizz.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 10 fresh mint leaves
  • 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice (about half a lime)
  • 2 tsp sugar (preferably superfine) or 1 oz simple syrup
  • 2 oz white rum
  • Soda water (to top up)
  • Ice cubes (crushed or whole)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Mint and Lime: Gently muddle fresh mint leaves with sugar and freshly squeezed lime juice in a sturdy glass. Press softly to release the mint’s essential oils without tearing the leaves to preserve freshness and flavor.
  2. Add the Rum: Pour the white rum over the muddled mixture and stir gently to combine the flavors with the sweetness and citrus base.
  3. Incorporate Ice and Soda Water: Fill the glass with ice cubes, then top off with soda water to add fizziness that balances the sweetness and alcohol.
  4. Final Mix and Garnish: Stir gently one last time to blend all elements seamlessly. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge for aroma and presentation.

Notes

  • Use fresh, vibrant mint leaves to ensure a bright, aromatic drink.
  • Muddle mint leaves gently to avoid bitterness and muddled leaves in the cocktail.
  • Choose a quality white rum for a clean and crisp flavor.
  • Adjust sugar and lime juice to balance sweetness and tartness according to preference.
  • Serve immediately for best fizz and freshness.
  • If possible, use crushed ice for faster chilling and slower dilution.
