Cocktail Hour: A Step-by-Step Mojito Video
Welcome to cocktail hour! In this video, we'll be showing you how to make a classic mojito, the perfect refreshing cocktail for any occasion.
Ingredients:
* 2 ounces white rum
* 1 ounce lime juice, freshly squeezed
* 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
* 10 mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
* Club soda, to top
Instructions:
1. In a muddler, combine the mint leaves, sugar and lime juice. Use a muddler to crush the mint leaves and release their flavor.
2. Add the rum to the muddled ingredients and stir to combine.
3. Fill a highball glass with ice and pour the mojito mixture over the ice.
4. Top off the glass with club soda and stir gently.
5. Garnish with a lime wedge and a mint sprig.
Tips:
* For a sweeter mojito, add more sugar to taste.
* For a more tart mojito, add more lime juice.
* If you don't have a muddler, you can crush the mint leaves with the back of a spoon.
* Be careful not to over-muddle the mint leaves, as this can make the mojito bitter.
Enjoy your mojito!
