Yield Serves 1

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 to 14 small mint leaves (see Note)
1 ounce fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon superfine sugar
4 ounces club soda or seltzer water
Garnish: Mint leaves, lime slices (optional)

Steps:

  • Muddle the mint leaves in a cocktail shaker with the lime juice and sugar. Add ice cubes to fill a shaker and pour in the club soda. Gently shake a few times to incorporate (remember: club soda is fizzy).
  • Strain into a medium or tall cocktail glass filled with ice. Garnish, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your mojitos will taste. This is especially important for the mint, which should be bright green and fragrant.
  • Muddle the mint and lime wedges gently: You don't want to bruise the mint or limes, as this will release bitter flavors. Use a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon to gently press them until they release their juices.
  • Use a high-quality rum: The rum is the star of the mojito, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a white rum that is smooth and flavorful, with a hint of sweetness.
  • Don't over-shake the mojito: Shaking the mojito too much will dilute it and make it watery. Give it a few quick shakes, just enough to combine the ingredients.
  • Serve the mojito immediately: Mojitos are best enjoyed fresh, so serve them as soon as they're made.

Conclusion:

The mojito is a classic cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It's refreshing, flavorful, and easy to make. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect mojito every time. So next time you're looking for a delicious and refreshing cocktail, give the mojito a try!
