THE REAL MOJITO



The Real Mojito image

This is an authentic recipe for mojito. I sized the recipe for one serving, but you can adjust it accordingly and make a pitcher full. It's a very refreshing drink for hot summer days. Be careful when drinking it, however. If you make a pitcher you might be tempted to drink the whole thing yourself, and you just might find yourself talking Spanish in no time! Tonic water can be substituted instead of the soda water but the taste is different and somewhat bitter.

½ lime, cut into 4 wedges
2 tablespoons white sugar, or to taste
1 cup ice cubes
1 ½ fluid ounces white rum
½ cup club soda

Steps:

  • Place mint leaves and 1 lime wedge into a sturdy glass. Use a muddler to crush the mint and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice. Add 2 more lime wedges and the sugar, and muddle again to release the lime juice. Do not strain the mixture. Fill the glass almost to the top with ice. Pour the rum over the ice, and fill the glass with carbonated water. Stir, taste, and add more sugar if desired. Garnish with the remaining lime wedge.

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 fresh lime
1 teaspoon caster sugar
12 fresh small mint leaves
50 ml white cuban rum
1/2 cup ice cube (crushed or or and cubed ice)
1 dash sparkling water
1 sprig of fresh mint and lime wedge, to garnish

Steps:

  • Cut a round slice of lime, 1 cm thick and slice it into 4 equal parts. Put the four lime wedges into a glass, then add the sugar and muddle (squish everything together) to release the lime juice and aroma. Do it gently because hard squishing may release the bitterness from the white part of the lime.
  • Put the mint leaves on one hand and clap in order to lightly bruise the leaves to releases the aroma. Rub the mint leaves around the rim of the glass and drop them inches Use a muddler, bar spoon (or even a rolling pin) to gently push the mint down into the lime juice.
  • Half fill the glass with crushed ice and pour in the rum. Stir the mix together until the sugar dissolves.
  • Top up with crushed ice, a splash of the sparkling water and garnish it with a sprig of mint.
