    The Best Mojitos Recipe. This is an authentic recipe for mojito is sized to make a pitcher full but you can easily change it to a single serving.

     

    What's A Mojito?

    Mojito (/moʊˈhiːtoʊ/; Spanish: [moˈxito]) is a traditional Cuban highball. Traditionally, a mojito is a cocktail that consists of five ingredients: white rum, sugar (traditionally sugar cane juice), lime juice, soda water, and mint. ... Mint leaves and lime wedges are used to garnish the glass.

    How strong is that mojito?

    Depending on how it's made, it could contain as much alcohol as two glasses of wine. A "standard drink" is the amount of alcohol in a 12-ounce beer, 5 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits. It's a useful way to track alcohol consumption. But the multiple ingredients of mixed drinks make for a harder count.

    Ingredients

     

    • ¾ cup granulated sugar
    • ¾ cup water
    • ⅔ cup packed fresh mint leaves (1 oz.)
    • 2 cups (16 oz.) white rum (such as Bacardí Superior)
    • 1 cup fresh lime juice (from 8 limes)
    • 2 cups club soda
    • 1 lime, thinly sliced into rounds
    • Lime peel strips
    • Mint sprigs

    How to Make It

    Step 1

    Stir together sugar, water, and mint leaves in a small saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium-high, stirring to dissolve sugar. Simmer, undisturbed, until mint wilts and syrup tastes minty, about 3 minutes. Remove and discard mint. Chill syrup until cold, about 30 minutes.

    Step 2

    Stir together mint syrup, rum, and lime juice in a large pitcher. Chill at least 1 hour or up to 3 days.

    Step 3

    When ready to serve, gently stir club soda into mixture in the pitcher, and add lime rounds. Pour evenly into 6 ice-filled glasses. Garnish glasses with lime peel strips and mint sprigs.
