How Do I Make A Mojito?

Answer 1

serves one
Ingredients: Fresh large lime(seedless if possible),
fresh mint leaves,
gomme syrup(thick sugar syrup),
crushed ice, mortar n pestle or a wooden muddler(somethin to muddle),
n not forgetin rum(i prefer bacardi white).
Boston shaker or a container(somethin to shake),
a good quality rock glass(9oz-10oz) if possible for serving.
Club Soda(optional)........

First cut the lime into 1/2, then into 3-4 wedges, depending on size.Get rid of the core(the white stuff in every citrus fruit) n seeds.
Next muddle da lime n mint leaves(5-8 leaves/sprigs) in a boston shaker wit a muddler or da mortar n pestle.
Muddle gently, dont crush it. Da lime n mint should not look like a paste ......
Next add 3/4oz to 1oz of gomme syrup in to the mixture of mint leaves n lime then add the crushed ice enough to fill the serving glass n 2oz of rum......
Give it a good shake(wit a shaker/ somethin to shake)so the mint leaves, lime, sugar, rum n ice mixes well n gets chill as well.
Ready to serve everything in to da glass..... top up wit soda optional

Another variation will b muddle the mint leaves n lime, put it into da serving glass, add gomme syrup n crushed ice.Lastly top it wit rum n just add a stirer in to it... same goes here as well u may top it up with soda....

Da difference btween the 1st n da 2nd is da 1st is shaken n da second is build......

I have written a good quality rock glss is so dat u can muddle gently into the serving glass immediately n using a boston shaker u can shake right away,,,,, it will fit/cover into the lip/rim of the glass.... huhu.
Remove(give it a gentle tap) the the shaker, wipe the rock glass n serve....
No extra utensils n less things to wash n clear..........
hope this quenches n satisfies ur thirst.
Pls ask if u dont understand
