Hello steemit community, today I bring a delicious and refreshing drink that we all know, we like but not all know how to prepare (the popular mojito)
The main thing is to use a good rum (which does not have to mean expensive). I like to use Havana Club rum to make Cuban mojito, a 3 year old. But it can also be worth another white rum of good quality. We will also need some mint leaves, luckily we can now find them in any supermarket in the refrigerated section.
There is no mojito without mint, so do not eliminate it from the equation because you do not have it. The lime is also essential, and can not be substituted for lemon since it would completely change the flavor. Water with gas or soda and sugar are the last ingredients that we will need.
- The first thing you have to do is crush the mint leaves, with the lemon juice and sugar.
- Ideally, you mix very well.
- Then put this mixture in a glass for mojito. Usually these glasses are called Collins.
- When you have the mixture in the Collins glass add the rum, soda and a little ice, try that the ice is frappe style (chopped).
- Use fresh mint leaves so that the drink takes some of its flavor.
- Ready! You already have an alcoholic beverage, sweet and delicious to enjoy with friends.
Ingredients for the Cuban mojito:
- 2 sprigs of mint or peppermint
- 2 teaspoons of sugar
- The juice of 1 lime
- 45 ml (more or less) of white rum
- A bit of crushed or crushed ice
- Soda or sparkling water until full
