4.1 from 195 reviews

A classic Cuban Mojito cocktail featuring fresh mint, zesty lime juice, a touch of honey, white rum, and refreshing club soda, perfect for a quick and invigorating drink.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 10 fresh mint leaves
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 lime, juiced (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 2 ounces white rum
  • Club soda, to top

Instructions

  1. Muddle together: Add the mint leaves, honey, and lime juice to a highball or collins glass. Use a muddler to gently press the mint leaves to release their flavor without tearing them apart.
  2. Add the rum and ice: Pour in the white rum over the muddled mixture, then fill the glass about two-thirds full with ice cubes.
  3. Finish it off: Top the drink with club soda to your taste, garnish with a sprig of fresh mint, and serve immediately for a refreshing mojito experience.

Notes

  • Be gentle when muddling the mint to avoid bitterness from crushed leaves.
  • Adjust honey sweetness according to taste preference.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum and increase club soda.
  • Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy optimal freshness and fizz.
