The Perfect Mojito Recipe

I discovered how much I liked mojitos just last summer.  I don’t know why I didn’t discover them sooner because I’ve been missing out for years now!  Last year I bought a mint plant and I made mojitos all summer long and it was awesome!  They are the perfect, refreshing summer drink.  If you haven’t tried them before, or just haven’t had one in awhile, then you need to print out this recipe and go make one!  Trust me you’ll thank me. 🙂

The Perfect Mojito Recipe
Makes 2 drinks

Ingredients:
4 sprigs of fresh mint
1/2 oz simple syrup
Ice
Juice of 1 lime
3oz White rum
Soda water
Mint leaves and lime for garnish

Directions:
Rinse mint sprigs and then place them in the bottom of a cocktail shaker, add the simple syrup. Use a muddler to crush the mint leaves. (The more you muddle them the stronger the mint flavor will be). Next add ice, lime juice and rum. Replace the cocktail shaker lid and shake until the ingredients are well blended. Pour the mixture into a Collins glass and top off with soda water. Garnish the glass with a mint leaf and a twist of lime.

Enjoy!

    Oh! Anna, that looks yummy! I must be missing out, the closest thing I've had to a mojito are the Bacardi Mojito malt beverage things. I like them, but they're far too sweet for me. I will have to try this one for sure!
