Mint Mojito - Cocktail Recipe
Wondering how to make Mint Mojito? Cocktail Builder will help!
Ingredients
- 1/2 oz of peppermint schnapps
- 3 oz of club soda (alt: clear soda)
- 2 tsp of sugar
- 2 oz of Bacardi light rum (alt: light rum)
- ice
- 12 of fresh mint (alt: mint)
- 1/2 oz of grey goose le citron vodka (alt: apple vodka)
- 1/2 of lime
Instructions
In a highball glass, drop the limes, then mint, and add the sugar.Muddle together, but don't break down the mint too much, otherwise, You'll be sipping mint bits. If you don't have muddler, you can use a wooden spoon, or the bottom of an ice cream scoop handle. You want to basically crush the juice out of the limes, while using the sugar to grind against the limes and mint to release their oils and flavors. You're not trying to dissolve the sugar here.
Next pour in the alcohol. I like grey goose because its particularly light, you can use whatever you have on hand, or use 3 oz of Barcardi Limon in place of the light rum and grey goose.
Some people add the ice here, but I don't recommend it, because if you do, then the sugar is hard to dissolve, and you end up sipping grains of sugar, so rather, stir with a bartender's swizzle stick, or whatever you have on hand, don't shake though, cause it'll damage the mint, breaking it apart.
Once the sugar is dissolved (you can usually tell after about 20 vigorous stirs, or when you look at the bottom of the glass and see no sediment), and lots of ice, and top off with club soda, about 3 oz or just to the top.
Stir to mix in the club soda, and drop in a straw and enjoy!
