Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

10 –12 fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons white sugar or to taste
2 oz 60 ml fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
3 oz 90 ml white rum
2 cups ice cubes or crushed ice
1 oz 30 ml soda water (optional, for a fizzy finish)
Lime slices and mint sprigs for garnish

Equipment

Blender
Citrus Juicer (optional)
Measuring cups and spoons
Muddler or spoon (optional)
Serving glasses
Straw (optional)

Method

Prep your ingredients: Wash the mint leaves and juice the limes.
Muddle (optional): Add mint leaves and sugar to your blender. Lightly muddle with a spoon to release the mint flavor. This step boosts flavor but can be skipped if blending thoroughly.
Blend: Add lime juice, rum, and ice to the blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and slushy.
Serve: Pour the frozen mojito into chilled glasses. Top with a splash of soda water if desired.
Garnish: Add a lime slice and a fresh mint sprig to each glass. Serve immediately with a straw.

Notes

Non-alcoholic version: Omit the rum and add a bit more soda water or a splash of lemonade.
Sweetener options: You can substitute white sugar with honey, agave syrup, or a sugar substitute like stevia.
Flavor variations: Add berries, pineapple, or cucumber for a fun twist.
Make-ahead tip: You can blend everything except ice and freeze the mix, then blend again with ice just before serving.
