Mint Leaves
The star of the mojito is fresh mint leaves. Be sure to use high-quality, fresh mint for the best flavor. You can find fresh mint at most grocery stores or farmers markets.
White Sugar
White sugar is used to sweeten the mojito. You can adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, but we recommend starting with 1 cup.
Lime Juice
Fresh lime juice is essential to the mojito. Squeeze the juice from about 8-10 limes to get 1 cup of juice.
White Rum
White rum is the base spirit for the mojito. Use a high-quality white rum for the best flavor.
Soda Water
Soda water is added to the mojito for fizz and to lighten the drink. You can use plain soda water or flavored soda water for a twist.
Ice Cubes
Ice cubes are added to the pitcher to keep the mojitos cold and refreshing. Use plenty of ice to fill the pitcher.
