Ingredients
For the mojito:
1largelime
4largestrawberries
4mint leaves
2ouncessimple syrup
lots of ice
5ounceslight rum
club soda- to serve
For the simple syrup: (not included in nutrition except for the amount used)
1/2cupgranulated sugar
1/2cupwater
3mint leaves
Instructions
Make the simple syrup (ahead of time). Combine the water and sugar in a small pan along with a few fresh mint leaves. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove mint and refrigerate until ready to use for mojitos.
Combine ingredients in jar. In a large jar (or cocktail shaker), combine the lime chunks, chopped strawberries, and about four mint leaves.
Muddle the ingredients. Add two ounces of simple syrup (or more for a sweeter drink) to the jar and use a muddler to “mush” everything together. You’ll want to break the strawberries and mint apart and muddle everything into the lime.
Combine the mojitos. Then add the white rum to the jar and muddle again.
Pour over ice. Fill two glass with ice and pour the mojitos over the ice.
Add club soda. Then add the club soda and serve immediately. Add garnishes, if desired!
Notes
Recipe Tips and Tricks
Make the simple syrup in advance.
You won’t use all of this simple syrup for two drinks. But I make extra for additional drinks (or future cocktails).
Chill the rum and club soda.
Use a large jar (or cocktail shaker) to muddle the ingredients.
Use plenty of ice.
The fizz will only last for a little bit so don’t add it until you’re ready to sip! 😀
