A Mojito Recipe

 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!

Cherish Every Single Moment With Loved Ones

  Cherish Every Single Moment With Loved Ones.   Not sure if it is the same for you, but too many people I am acquainted with are dying, friends and family members as well. In my opinion it's very important to cherish every single moment with loved ones, the happy and sad moments. Too many people are always angry and fighting over trivial things. Life is unpredictable and we are just passing through this world, therefore our ultimate goal should be to live in harmony with one another while protecting our inner peace.          YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vECaaNt090 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChezTropic Tik tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cheztropic?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1
