MOJITO

Steps:

• Place ice in beverage shaker then add in the rum, 8 broken up mint sprigs, lime juice and sugar. Shake well and serve over ice in a high ball glass. Top off each glass with a splash of club soda.
• Garnish each with a slice of lime and a sprig of mint.

THE REAL MOJITO

Steps:

• Place mint leaves and 1 lime wedge into a sturdy glass. Use a muddler to crush the mint and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice. Add 2 more lime wedges and the sugar, and muddle again to release the lime juice. Do not strain the mixture. Fill the glass almost to the top with ice. Pour the rum over the ice, and fill the glass with carbonated water. Stir, taste, and add more sugar if desired. Garnish with the remaining lime wedge.

MOJITO MIXER

Steps:

• Mix the sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Heat on medium high and bring to a boil.
• Cut the limes in half and give the mint leaves a crush in your hands and add to the sugar and water mixture.
• Turn heat down to medium and let simmer for five minutes to steep the flavor out of the mint and limes.
• Pour syrup through a strainer and chill.
• Keep the syrup refrigerated.
• To use this syrup to make a Mojito, pour about 1 tablespoon (give or take) over ice, add your rum and club soda, mix well and serve in a chilled glass.
• Now I'm not giving anything exact here because I have always eyeballed it when I make mojitos. Just don't use too much syrup, you should be able to figure out a good ratio to fit your taste after a few tries.

MOJITO PITCHER

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the sugar and stir constantly until it is completely dissolved.
• Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and tear the mint leaves while adding them to the syrup. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat and let cool completely.
• Strain the mint from the syrup using a fine-mesh strainer.
• Transfer the mint syrup to an airtight bottle or jar, and keep it refrigerated.
• Gather the ingredients.
• Juice 6 to 8 limes , straining out the pulp, to produce about 1 1/2 cups of juice.
• In a pitcher, add the rum and 1 cup each of the mint syrup and lime juice. Add more syrup or juice to taste; make this base a little strong because it will be diluted with club soda. Keep chilled until needed.
• Just before you're ready to serve the mojitos, add the chilled club soda to the pitcher.
• Pour the sparkling mojito mix into ice-filled glasses. Garnish each with a sprig of mint and lime slice.

MOJITO PITCHER

Steps:

• Chop each lime into six pieces and drop them into a two-litre jug. Add the sugar and squish the lime wedges with a muddler, or the end of a rolling pin. Keep crushing to get out all the juices.
• Pick the leaves off a mint spring and lay them on one of your hands. Clap the other hand on top to bruise the leaves ever so gently, then drop them into the jug. Repeat with the rest of the mint spring.
• Fill up the jug about three-quarters full with ice, then add the rum. Stir with a long-handled spoon to mix all the ingredients together gently and top up with the sparkling water. Stir once more, then serve poured into tall glasses with a few extra ice cubes and lime slices.Try these 3 twistsStrawberry mojitoMuddle 9-10 strawberries, 2 chopped limes and 2 tbsp granulated sugar in a large jug.
