Mojito - the most refreshing and refreshing Cuban classic cocktail in summer🍃🍋🥂

The Mojito is a classic Cuban rum cocktail made with fresh mint, lime juice, sugar, white rum, and soda water. Its tart, sweet, and refreshing herbal aromas make it a perfect summertime cool-off. Not only was it a favorite of Hemingway, its light, refreshing flavor has made it a classic must-try in bars and restaurants worldwide. I highly recommend a Mojito during Hong Kong's humid and muggy weather; it's both refreshing and refreshing, leaving you with a lasting impression!

Mojito ingredients

• 8 to 10 fresh mint leaves (the mint aroma is the soul)

• 40-45ml white rum

• About 30ml fresh lime juice (lime juice) (juice of half a lime or lemon)

• 30ml of sugar or syrup (can be reduced according to taste)

• Soda water (to fill the cup)

• Lots of crushed ice

Classic Mojito Production Steps

1. First, place the mint leaves, sugar (or syrup) and lime juice in a highball glass.

2. Use a pestle to gently press the mint leaves to release the mint fragrance and lime acidity. Be careful not to over-crush the mint and make it bitter.

3. Fill the glass 70% full with crushed ice and pour in the white rum.

4. Top up with soda water and stir gently to blend the flavors.

5. Finally, garnish with mint sprigs and lime slices to add visual and aromatic effects.

Taste and charm

The Mojito is refreshingly sweet and sour, with the mint bringing a herbal coolness, the lime juice refreshing tartness, the mellow white rum without being overpowering, and the fizz of soda water giving the drink a light and refreshing feel. This clear, light-bodied drink is perfect for Hong Kong's sweltering summer weather, whether you're relaxing after work or enjoying a drink at a party.

Sharing from the editor's perspective

• When making Mojito, be gentle when crushing the mint leaves. Do not crush them to avoid bitterness. This is the first key to making a cocktail.

• Sugar can be replaced with white sugar or syrup, and the sweetness can be adjusted according to personal preference.

• For a richer flavor, opt for vanilla-flavored Cuban white rum, or add a small amount of brown rum for a richer flavor.

• Soda water can be replaced with sparkling water or even coconut water according to your preference to create different taste variations.

• If you like the low-alcohol version, you can reduce the proportion of rum and add more soda water, which is also very suitable for summer.

• This cocktail has the halo of Hemingway and 007 James Bond behind it. It is definitely a classic regular in Hong Kong's trendy bars. It is guaranteed to make you feel cool and trendy!

Mojito is that magical summer cool-down drink that makes you fall in love with it the first time. Enjoy a Mojito in the scorching Hong Kong summer, accompanied by relaxing music and chatting with friends, and feel the passion and freshness of Cuba. It's guaranteed to lift your mood, leaving you feeling refreshed and comfortable! 🍹🍃☀️
