We know you have been waiting all week long for the weekend to arrive! We prepared for you an easy mojito recipe for you to chill out this Friday! A mojito is a classic highball drink that originated in Cuba. It requires a bit more labor than many mixed drinks, as it involves first muddling fresh mint, lime, and sugar together to release the flavors. But it’s well worth it for a refreshing, fizzy, and mildly sweet rum cocktail that remains one of the most popular to this day.
Ingredients
- 5 mint leaves, more for garnish
- 2 ounces white rum
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice
- ½ ounce simple syrup
- Ice
- Club soda or sparkling water
- Lime slices, for garnish
Instructions
- Lightly muddle the mint in the bottom of a cocktail shaker until aromatic. Add the rum, lime juice, simple syrup, a handful of ice and shake.
- Strain into a glass filled with ice. Top with a splash of club soda and garnish with lime slices and more mint.
