Mojito Cocktail Recipe
A Mojito is a classic rum cocktail containing white rum, fresh lime juice, mint leaves, and sugar. When making a Mojito, you muddle the ingredients together in the same glass that you will use to serve it in. There’s no need to strain or use a separate mixing glass. The only bar tool you will need is a muddler, although you can use the back of a spoon if you don’t have one. Here’s how to make a Mojito.
