Ingredients

4 oz white rum
2 oz fresh lime juice
1 oz simple syrup
2 cups crushed ice
15-20 fresh mint leaves
Club soda for topping
Lime wedges for garnish
Extra mint sprigs for garnish

Instructions

Put mint leaves and simple syrup in a blender. Pulse 2-3 times to break up the leaves.

Pour the mixture into glasses, filling them about 3/4 full.
Top each glass with a splash of club soda and stir gently.
Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and lime wedges.

Notes

The drinks will melt quickly, so serve right away.

Fresh mint and lime juice make a big difference in taste compared to bottled ingredients.

Keep mint leaves in the refrigerator, wrapped in damp paper towels to stay fresh.

Make simple syrup ahead by mixing equal parts sugar and hot water until dissolved. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Pre-chill the glasses in the freezer for 15 minutes before serving to keep drinks colder longer.

Tasting Notes

The Mojito Slush Cocktail offers a bright, minty freshness that tingles the taste buds.

Its icy texture creates a smooth, snow-like consistency that melts into a refreshing pool of flavors.

Sweet notes from the simple syrup balance perfectly with the tart lime juice. The rum adds warmth without overpowering the drink’s crisp character.

Fresh mint leaves give this frozen cocktail its signature cooling sensation. The crushed ice dilutes the drink just enough to make it easy to sip while keeping the flavors bold.

Flavor Profile:

Primary: Mint, lime
Secondary: Sweet rum, sugar
Finish: Cool and crisp

The drink starts sweet, moves to citrus, and ends with a clean mint finish. Its frosty texture makes it extra refreshing on hot days.

White rum works best as it lets the mint and lime shine through.

Dark rum can be used but will add caramel notes that change the classic taste.

The drink tastes strongest when first served. As it melts, the flavors become more mellow and the texture turns more liquid than slushy.
