Mojito Recipe
Mojito is arguably the MOST REFRESHING cocktail on this planet!! With the recent mint flavour, a contact of candy, tang from lime, fizzy soda water and as for the rum? What rum? Can’t style it in any respect!!
Mojito
Ahh Mojito. We all know you’re a sizzling climate drink, however we like making you all yr spherical.
In summer season, we wish one thing refreshing, and also you’re the primary that springs to thoughts.
And in winter, we are saying we have to make use of all of the mint within the flourishing mint bush. Actually, making one in every of you doesn’t even make a dent in even a tiny mint plant. We simply want any half hearted excuse to make you!!
What does a mojito style like?
Mojitos tastes like a fizzy mint lime drink that’s a bit candy. You possibly can’t style the rum (which makes it harmful!!) and it’s extremely refreshing and intensely straightforward to drink!
Substances in Mojito
-
10 mint leaves
-
30 ml / 1 oz lime juice
-
60 ml / 2 oz white rum
-
30 ml / 1 oz sugar syrup (equal components sugar and water)
-
1/2 cup membership soda / soda water
Membership soda and soda water are the identical factor. It’s water that’s been artificially carbonated. Strictly talking, you shouldn’t use glowing mineral water as a result of it has the flavour of pure minerals in it and it’s not fairly as fizzy. However it’s a high-quality substitute!
Finest rum for Mojito
Bacardi is the traditional selection and essentially the most well-known. It’s a Puerto Rican white rum so it’s on-theme for Mojito which has Cuban origins!
Methods to make a VIRGIN Mojito!
Simply skip the rum to make a non alcoholic Mojito! White rum provides little flavour to this cocktail so that you gained’t miss it – however you continue to get all the stunning refreshing flavours!
Methods to make Mojito
-
Place mint, lime and sugar in glass, bruise mint leaves with muddler or pestle. In the event you don’t have one, jut crush the mint very well in your arms then drop them in;
-
Add ice, then rum and soda water, then combine; then
-
Garnish with lime and extra mint!
Mojito Ideas!
The important thing to an incredible Mojito is bruising the mint leaves utilizing a muddler (or pestle!) within the glass so it releases flavour into the drink. This strategy of squishing the mint leaves in the glass (depicted above) is named muddling. It’s a cocktail making terminology and method.
Some bar tenders prefer to additionally muddle lime wedges within the glass. I desire not to do that for two causes:
-
Over enthusiastic muddling may cause bitter flavour from the white a part of limes into the drink; and
-
You can’t precisely measure the quantity of lime juice launched into your mojito. When you can style and modify your drink, will your pals thoughts you having a swig from the pitcher you’re making for them? 😂
Additionally, one ultimate tip – use sugar syrup, not sugar granules. It’s onerous (and annoying) to make sugar granules dissolve. No person desires grainy sugar crunch of their mojito!
What to serve with Mojito
We love Mojitos for his or her freshness so they’re nice served with creamy dips with salty chips! These are my private favourites to pair with Mojitos:
-
Selfmade French Onion Dip or shortcut French Onion SOUP Combine Dip with potato crisps – the minty freshness with the sweet-savoury caramelised onion dip is 👌🏻;
-
Cucumber Canapes with Smoked Salmon Mousse – proper on theme with the freshness of this drink;
-
Guacamole and corn chips – very becoming;
-
For a recent choice, you may’t go previous Restaurant Type Salsa – flavour you may’t purchase in a jar!
-
Pig Out Salsa (chorizo, corn and bean salsa) is terrifically on theme too!

Ingredients
- 30ml / 1 oz lime juice , fresh

- 1/2 cup (125ml) club soda / soda water (Note 3)
- Lime wedges or slices
- Mint sprigs
Instructions

Notes
1. Sugar syrup – equal parts water and white sugar, heat in saucepan until sugar is dissolved. Cool then store for months in the fridge. Common ingredient used in cocktail recipes.
Better to use syrup rather than sugar granules as it’s difficult to get them to fully melt when making mojito.
2. White rum – any white rum fine here, the most common used in Australia is Bacardi.
3. Club soda aka soda water – this is just water that’s been artificially carbonated. Don’t use sparkling mineral water (which is naturally fizzy, and usually has flavours from natural minerals in it).
4. Muddler – this is a tool used in cocktail making to crush things (herbs, fruit) in a glass to release flavour that mixes in with the cocktail. A pestle is a great alternative! Otherwise, crush the mint leaves well in your hand, then drop them into the glass and proceed with recipe without muddling.
5. No muddling lime wedges: You see some bartenders muddling lime wedges in the glass. I prefer not to do this because over enthusiastic muddling can release the bitterness from the white part of the lime into the drink. And after 1 or 2 mojitos, I get very enthusiastic with muddling!! (Also, from a practical perspective, just better to measure the lime juice properly).
6. Nutrition per serving.
