How to Make a Bacardi Mojito

2. Add ice & rum.
3. Stir.
4. Top with club soda and stir lightly before serving.
5. Garnish with a mint sprig and limes.

Tips & Tricks

You can replace the sugar and use a Mojito Simple Syrup:

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup water
• 10 mint leaves
• 1 lime, cut into wedges

Mix the water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil until the sugar has completely dissolved and the syrup has thickened, about 5 minutes. Strain the simple syrup through a sieve to remove the mint leaves and lime wedges. Let the syrup cool to room temperature. This can be store for about a month in the fridge.

Then muddle the lime juice, 1 tbsp simple syrup, 3 mint leaves and rum.  When you muddle, it is to release oils and flavor.

Use a cocktail shaker.

You can get a good mix when if you use a cocktail shaker. Pour over ice and top with club soda. Our favorite cocktail shaker. Use a pitcher if you plan to serve Mojitos at a party or small gathering of friends. However, we recommend muddling your Mojito in a cocktail shaker. The shaker’s narrow bottom creates maximum agitation during muddling.

Make it frozen.

Place all the ingredients except the ice in a blender. Blend smooth. Add 1 cup ice and blend until it reaches your desired consistency for your Bacardi mojito.

One of my favorite dishes to enjoy with this cocktail is pork carnitas.
