Serving Size

Equipment

Cocktail shaker: It helps blend the flavors nicely.
Muddler: This is perfect for crushing the mint leaves.
Measuring jigger: For precise ingredient measurements.

Stirring spoon: To mix the ingredients gently.
Strainer: Keeps the mint leaves and ice out of the final drink.
Tall glass: Shows off the layered colors of the cocktail.

Ingredients

Here’s a list of what I need to gather before starting:

2 oz of white rum: I like it light and smooth.
1 oz of fresh lime juice: The key to a zesty kick.
1 oz of simple syrup: Adds just the right sweetness.

6-8 fresh mint leaves: I use these to bring a fresh aroma.
Club soda: A splash or two for some fizz.
Ice cubes: Keeps the drink cool and refreshing.

Choosing fresh ingredients makes a big difference in taste. 🌿

Instructions

Place the mint leaves in a cocktail shaker.
Using the muddler, I gently press them to release the oils. This gives the drink its minty aroma.
Add the lime juice, simple syrup, and white rum into the shaker. I fill it with ice and shake well for about 15 seconds.

Strain this mixture into a tall glass filled with ice cubes. This way, the drink stays chilled without the mint leaves.
Top it off with a splash of club soda. I give it a gentle stir with my spoon.

Notes

When it’s time to unwind, I love sipping on my made-with-care mojito. I sometimes experiment a bit. You can too! Try flavored syrups or different rums.

Always serve it fresh. The flavors blend better right after making it.
