Yes, it's a trendy drink. But on a hot summer evening while drinking with good friends, this cross between the Mint Julep and the Daquiri doesn't feel like a trend. It feels like destiny.

To complete this How-To you will need:

2 oz. light or gold rum
Some fresh mint
2 tsp. sugar
A lime cut into 4 wedges
Some soda water
Some ice
A collins glass
A measuring jigger
A muddler
And a spoon

Step 1: Pull off mint leaves

Set 1 mint sprig aside, and pull the leaves off the remaining sprigs.

Tip: Some mojito recipes call for as many as 2 dozen mint leaves—how many you use depends on how "minty" you want your drink to taste.

Step 2: Add mint, lime & sugar

Line the glass with the leaves and add the 4 lime wedges and the sugar. Gently muddle everything against the sides and bottom with the muddler or back of a spoon.

Tip: In Cuba, where the mojito originated, just 1 tsp. of powdered sugar is used.

Step 3: Fill with ice

Fill the glass with ice.

Step 4: Pour in rum & mix

Pour in the rum and mix again.

Step 5: Add soda & garnish

Top off the cocktail with soda water and garnish with a sprig of mint. Mojito!

cute chick

1) use a good rum from cuba - e.g. Havana Club 3-5 years

2) crushed works fine, too

3) you don´t need to crush the mint. just give it a little slap to set the oils free.

4) it tastes fine with ginger ale, too (not original ofc)

Cute girl indeed.

It is very wrong to muddle the mint with the limes...

You actually muddle the limes with the sugar and then you add the mint as it is.

It tastes a LOT better if you use simple syrup instead of sugar. (just disolve equal part cane sugar and water - keep in fridge) Try it - you'll see.
