  • My favorite mojito recipe:

    • 2 Oz (60 ml) white rum

    • 1/2 Oz (15 ml) rich demerara syrup (2:1 sugar to water ratio)

    • 1 lime, quartered

    • a goodly amount of fresh mint, ~10-12 leaves

    • a little bit of sugar

    • ~2 Oz (60 ml) soda water

    Build:

    Put a little sugar in your glass, chuck the lime and mint in, muddle.

    After you’re done muddling, fill your glass with ice

    Add a splash of soda water (not the whole 2 Oz), rum and syrup, stir until chilled

    Too the glass up with soda water, stir again to incorporate the soda

    Garnish with a fresh mint sprig

    Notes: I really like Planteray 3 star or flor de cana 4 for this recipe. Planteray has an earthier flavor while the flor de cana has a more fruity/tropical vibe. If you don’t have access to demerara sugar, you can use light brown or raw sugar for a substitute.
