Mojito

Ingredients

  • 50ml rum
  • 3 barspoons (teaspoons) of brown sugar
  • 3-4 wedges of lime (depending on size)
  • 6-8 fresh mint leaves
  • 50 ml soda water (club soda, sparkling water)
  • crushed ice

Equipment

  • Muddler
  • Bar spoon

How to make Mojito

  1. Muddle brown sugar & lime wedges of lime in base of glass.
  2. Add mint and gently press once (just to bruise it enough to release the oils to flavor the drink. If you muddle the mint too much it brings out a bitter taste that overpowers the natural mint flavor).
  3. Add rum.
  4. Add soda water.
  5. Half fill glass with crushed ice and stir with bar spoon. Top with more crushed ice and stir until desired wash-line is reached. Serve with straws.

Glass

Highball.

Garnish

2-3 mint sprigs & lime wedge.
