When life gives you mint leaves, what do you make? This mint mojito recipe!

A Mojito cocktail is a fabulous blend of fresh mint and a touch of lime coupled with the light accent of rum. It's easy to make from scratch and comes together in just a few minutes.

What we do know is that the Mojito originated in the Caribbean (Cuba). The Caribbean is full of history, flavour and a great drinking culture. Premium rum makes an elegant and remarkable cocktail and there are many ways that you can switch up the flavor of the basic recipe, which makes it a fun cocktail to share with friends.

Ingredients:

2 Ounces white rum or Gin

1 Lime, cut into 4 wedges

1 Cup Ice cubes

15 Mint Leaves

1/2 Cup Club Soda (In place of club soda, you can also use sparkling water (if you like your Mojito less sweet) 4 tablespoons granulated sugar, to taste.

Instructions:

In a cocktail shaker, muddle the mint sprigs with the 3 lime quarters and sugar; just enough to dissolve the sugar and release the flavor of the mint.

Add ice and the rum; shake well.

Strain into an ice-filled highball glass and top with the soda and bitters.

Garnish with the lime wedge and remaining mint sprig.

Tip:

HOW TO MUDDLE MINT FOR A COCKTAIL

Muddling is a technique used in drinks to gently mash herbs or fruit to release their juices. You can do this with the bottom of a wooden spoon or with a proper muddler. Either way will work! Place the mint leaves in the bottom of a sturdy cup or cocktail shaker. Gently mash the mint a few times with a muddler (or the bottom of the wooden spoon) to release the oils form the mint. You do not want to pulverize the mint, just press firmly to release the oils!
