Equipment
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Shot Glass
- Cocktail Muddler
- Zester
Ingredients
Mojito
- ½ tablespoon granulated sugar
- pinch sea salt
- ½ lime
- fresh mint leaves
- 1 ½ - ounce Malibu coconut rum
- ice
- ⅓ cup canned coconut milk mixed well
- club soda
If Rimming
- granulated sugar
- lime zest
Instructions
- If rimming your glass, run a lime wedge along the outside rim of the glass. Add sugar and lime zest to a shallow plate and dip wet rim to coat.
- Add sugar, salt, half a lime, and 3-5 mint leaves to the glass and muddle the ingredients together.
- Add ice to the glass then pour rum and coconut milk in. Stir well then top with club soda.
- Garnish with fresh mint and enjoy.
Notes
- Use a balanced pressure when muddling. Push hard enough to release juice and oil, but too hard can release bitterness from the lime peel.
- Shake up the can of coconut milk well to mix the cream and water for a smooth consistency.
- Double the sugar or use simple syrup, if you prefer a sweeter drink.
- Place your glasses in the freezer to chill prior to making to keep the drink cold longer.
- Use bright, fragrant fresh mint leaves for the best flavor.
