Equipment

  • Cocktail Shaker
  • 2 Glasses

Ingredients

  • 4 oz white rum
  • 2 Lemons juiced
  • 12 Fresh Mint Leaves
  • 4 tsp Sugar
  • 8 ounces Soda Water
  • Ice Cubes
  • Lemon slices for garnish
  • Mint Sprigs for garnish

Instructions

  • Start by juicing the lemons. Cut them in half and squeeze out the juice into a small bowl. Set aside.
  • In a cocktail shaker, muddle the mint leaves and sugar together. This will release the mint’s flavor and combine it with the sweetness of the sugar. 
  • Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and rum to the cocktail shaker. Stir well to dissolve the sugar and mix the flavors. Fill 2 glass with ice cubes.
  • Pour the rum, mint and lemon mixture over the ice. Top the glass with sparkling water. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients. Garnish with a slice of lemon and a sprig of mint.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Lemon Mojito Cocktail! Adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste preference.
