What is a Mojito?

A Mojito is a refreshing cocktail originating from Cuba, made with white rum, lime juice, mint leaves, and a splash of soda water. It's perfect for hot summer days and nights spent with friends.

Here's what you'll need:

• 2 oz white rum
• 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 oz simple syrup (equal parts water and granulated sugar, dissolved)
• Handful of ice
• Sprigs of fresh mint leaves
• Soda water
• Lime wedges for garnish

‍

Step-by-Step Instructions:

• In a cocktail shaker, gently press the mint leaves with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release the oils and flavor.
• Add the lime juice, simple syrup, and white rum to the shaker.
• Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds.
• Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice. Top with soda water.
• Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint, a lime wedge, and serve immediately.

Tips and Variations:

• Use fresh mint leaves for the best flavor.
• Adjust the amount of simple syrup to your taste.
• Try using different types of rum or adding a splash of fruit juice for a twist.
