Equipment
- *Cocktail shaker
- cocktail muddler
- glass of choice
Ingredients
Classic Mojito
- 3 fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 oz Simple syrup I like to use my homemade simple syrup!
- 2 oz white rum
- 3/4 oz fresh lime juice
- club soda
- ice cubes
- lime wedge or lime slices to garnish

Mojito Mocktail
- 3 fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 oz Simple syrup I like to use my homemade simple syrup!
- 3/4 oz fresh lime juice
- club soda
- ice cubes
- lime wedge or lime slices to garnish
- mint sprigs or additional mint leaves to garnish
Instructions
- Fill your glass of choice with ice and set it aside until ready to use.
- Place 3 mint leaves in your cocktail shaker, and gently crush them with your muddler; you don’t want to rip or tear the leaves, just crush/bruise them to release their fragrance.
- Add the white rum(omit if making a mocktail), lime juice, and simple syrup to your cocktail shaker, followed by a few ice cubes. Cover and shake for about 10 seconds.
- Pour your cocktail(or mocktail) mixture into your glass of ice(if your cocktail shaker doesn’t have a pour spout, you can pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer.)
- Top your cocktail(or mocktail) with club soda, then garnish with a fresh sprig of mint and a lime slice.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
I love to use my homemade simple syrup for this recipe, but if you don’t want to make your own, you can easily find simple syrup at most grocery stores. Or it can be ordered online.
