Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale

Core Ingredients

  • 10 fresh mint leaves
  • 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • 0.75 oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 2 oz white rum
  • Crushed ice (enough to fill the glass)

Finishing Ingredients

  • 2–3 oz soda water (to top off)
  • Optional: 1 tbsp coconut cream (for creamy, snowy effect)

Instructions

  1. Muddle the Mint and Lime: Place fresh mint leaves and freshly squeezed lime juice into a sturdy glass. Gently muddle them together to release the mint’s essential oils and mix it with the citrus zing, creating a fragrant base.
  2. Add Simple Syrup: Pour in your simple syrup, adjusting the sweetness to your preference. This step balances the tartness of the lime and adds that signature mellow sweetness.
  3. Pour in the White Rum: Measure and pour the white rum into the glass, integrating the smooth alcohol base that will carry the subtle flavors forward without overpowering them.
  4. Fill with Crushed Ice: Fill the glass almost to the top with crushed ice. This not only chills your cocktail perfectly but helps blend all the flavors as it dilutes slightly over time.
  5. Top with Soda Water and Optional Coconut Cream: Top off your mojito with soda water for fizzy refreshment. For that snowy White Christmas look and a creamy texture, gently float a spoonful of coconut cream on top.
  6. Stir Gently and Garnish: Give the cocktail a gentle stir to combine all the elements without bruising the mint too much. Garnish with mint sprigs and a lime wheel for a festive finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients for best flavor and aroma.
  • Do not over-muddle the mint to avoid bitterness.
  • Adjust the simple syrup carefully to balance sweetness and tartness.
  • Use crushed ice to chill drinks quickly and blend flavors nicely.
  • Chill glasses before serving to keep cocktails cool longer.
