Ingredients
For the raspberry mojito:
- Small handful of mint leaves
- 8 raspberries
- Juice from 1 lime
- ¼ cup (60 ml) sugar syrup
- ¼ cup (60 ml) white rum
- Ice
- Soda water to taste
To garnish
- Mint leaves
- Lime slices
- Raspberries
Instructions
- Combine the mint, raspberries, lime juice and sugar syrup in a glass and crush the mint leaves as you mix.
- Then stir in the rum.
- Top with some ice and soda water before garnishing with mint, lime slices and raspberries.
Notes
- Balance the Flavors – Adjust the sweetness and tartness according to your preference. The key to a perfect mojito is finding the right balance between the raspberries, lime juice, and sugar.
- Muddle Gently – When muddling the mint and raspberries, gently release the flavors without turning the mint bitter or the raspberries too mushy.
- Chill Your Glasses – Chill your glasses in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before serving. This keeps your mojito colder for longer, enhancing the refreshing experience.
- Quality Ingredients – Use the freshest mint and raspberries you can find for the best flavor. The quality of the rum is also important – a smoother rum will make a smoother mojito.
- Ice is Key – Use plenty of ice to keep your mojito cold without diluting it too quickly. Crushed ice is often preferred as it chills the drink faster.
- Storage - Store in the refrigerator for about 4-5 days, but where possible make it from scratch.
