- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup club soda
- 1/4 cup white rum
- 1/4 cup strawberries halved (about 4 big berries)
- 12 large mint leaves
You’ll also want a glass (obviously) and something to muddle with. I used this wooden muddler but I’ve used the skinny end of a wooden spoon or the rounded end of a butter knife in a pinch.
let’s make some mojitos
First, we want to get all the mint flavor out of those leaves. You can just drop them in there and expect them to do anything. And to get a minty drink, we must muddle.
Drop your strawberries in the glass, along with the sugar, lime juice, and mint, and smash them up for a few minutes. Take your time with this step. The berries should totally pulverized when you’re done.
Then, pour in the rum and club soda, add some ice, and garnish.
That’s was easy, right?
Enjoy!
