We all know and love Mojitos- they’re refreshing, delicious, and served pretty much everywhere. 

Here is how you can make your mojito cocktail at home.

INGREDIENTS:

Fresh mint (5 leaves)– For decoration and flavour!

Garnishing the drink with mint also helps.

2 ounces of Rum – The key ingredient for a mojito

1 ounce of Fresh lime juice – It adds a bright, tart flavour.

2 teaspoons of Sugar- gives it the sweet taste mojito drinkers love

Topped with Club soda or sparkling water – It balances the tart lime and alcohol and gives the cocktail a fun fizz.

Ice – Makes it extra refreshing!

HOW TO MAKE:

Take your glass, and Lightly muddle the mint in the bottom of a cocktail shaker.

Secondly, add 2 ounces of rum, 1 ounce of fresh lime juice, and 2 teaspoons of sugar- add ice if needed!

Mix or shake it all, and top with a bit of club soda and garnish with slices of lime and min leaves.
