Questions about Mojito
What goes into a classic mojito?
A classic mojito combines white rum, fresh mint, lime juice, sugar and soda water, served over crushed ice. Gently press the mint with the sugar and lime rather than crushing it hard, which can make it taste bitter.
How do you make a mojito without muddling the mint to a pulp?
Put mint leaves, sugar and lime juice in a glass and press them lightly with a muddler or the back of a spoon. Add rum and crushed ice, top with soda water, then stir gently so the mint stays fragrant rather than bruised.
Can you make a mojito without alcohol?
Yes: leave out the rum and mix lime juice, mint and sugar with soda water over crushed ice. For a fuller flavour, add a splash of chilled apple juice or extra lime.
What can you use instead of white rum in a mojito?
For a non-alcoholic version, omit it; for a different alcoholic twist, use light tequila or gin, though the result is no longer a classic mojito. Dark rum gives a richer, molasses-like flavour.
Can you make mojitos ahead of time?
Mix the lime juice and sugar ahead, and keep it chilled; add the mint, ice and soda water just before serving. Once soda is added it quickly loses its fizz, while mint left steeping for hours can turn bitter.
How do you store leftover mojito?
Refrigerate it in a covered container and drink it within a day, but expect the soda to go flat and the mint to lose its freshness. Remove the mint and ice before storing to slow bitterness and dilution.
Is a mojito the same as a mojito cocktail?
The names are often used for the same drink: a rum-based Cuban cocktail traditionally made with lime, mint, sugar and soda water. Recipes can differ in sweetness and proportions.
How much sugar is in a mojito?
A typical serving’s sugar depends largely on how much sugar or syrup is added, as well as the lime and any mixer. The drink listed here has 7.7 g sugar per 100 g.
