Original Mojito Recipe
The Mojito is a classic Cuban cocktail, famous for its refreshing taste and balanced flavor. Let's learn how to prepare this delicious drink!
Ingredients:
50 ml white rum
1 lime (cut into 4 pieces)
10 fresh mint leaves
2 teaspoons of sugar
Sparkling water (or soda)
Crushed ice
Sprig of mint (for garnish)
Lime slice (for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the glass: In a tall glass, place the mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler to lightly muddle the mint leaves with the sugar. This will release the essential oils of the mint, providing an intense aroma and flavor.
Add the lime: Add the lime pieces to the glass and continue to gently muddle to extract the juice.
Incorporate the rum: Pour the white rum over the mint, sugar, and lime mixture.
Mix well: Stir well so that the flavors combine. Add ice: Fill the glass almost to the top with crushed ice.
Top with sparkling water: Fill the rest of the glass with sparkling water or soda, giving your Mojito an effervescent touch.
Garnish: Garnish with a sprig of mint and a slice of lime on the rim of the glass.
Tips: Adjust the sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter Mojito, add more sugar or a little simple syrup.
Fresh mint: Always use fresh mint to ensure the best flavor and aroma.
Quality rum: Choose a good quality white rum to enhance the flavor of the cocktail.
Ready! Now you can enjoy a delicious Mojito as if you were on a Cuban beach. Enjoy responsibly!
