Classic Mojito with fresh mint - Refreshing & Original
A classic Mojito with fresh mint is just the thing when the sun is shining and you want to treat yourself to a little break. As a little cat with a preference for fine aromas, I particularly love this drink because it finds the perfect balance between zesty lime, sweet cane sugar, and delightfully fragrant mint. This Cuban cocktail is incredibly easy and quick to make – you don't need any complicated pre-mixed drinks, just high-quality, fresh ingredients. With a little finesse, you gently muddle the mint leaves to release their essential oils without crushing them, as that's what makes a true professional drink. Follow my simple instructions and conjure up your own little bar experience right at home in just a few minutes. It's the ideal recipe for relaxing evenings or sunny afternoons on the balcony. Grab your utensils, because making it is child's play and tastes incomparably fresh!
Ingredients
Preparation
Cut the lime (1) into small pieces and place them in a sturdy glass with the cane sugar (2 tsp).
Gently press the mint leaves (10) with a muddler to release their wonderful aroma without making them bitter – work with a light touch!
Fill the glass with a generous portion of crushed ice (150 g).
Pour the high-quality white rum (50 ml) over the ice.
Top up with soda water (100 ml) and stir briefly but firmly so the sugar is distributed at the bottom.
