How to make refreshing Mojitos?
MOREStep 1: Gather Your Ingredients
Collect fresh mint leaves, white rum, fresh limes, sugar,
club soda, and ice.
Step 2: Prepare the Glass
Chill a highball or Collins glass by placing it in the freezer or filling it with ice water. This ensures your Mojito stays cold from the first sip.
Step 3: Muddle the Mint
In the chilled glass, gently muddle 8-10 fresh mint leaves with 1 oz of fresh lime juice and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Press the leaves just enough to release the minty aroma.
Step 4: Add Rum and Ice
Pour 2 oz of white rum into the glass. Fill the glass with crushed ice, leaving some space at the top for the addition of soda water.
Step 5: Top with Soda Water
Top off the mixture with club soda or sparkling water, leaving about half an inch from the rim. This creates the effervescent finish characteristic of a Mojito.
Step 6: Stir Gently
Use a bar spoon or the muddler to stir the ingredients gently. This ensures even distribution of flavors and chills the cocktail effectively.
Step 7: Garnish
Garnish your Mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wheel. Optionally, add a slice of cucumber or a few berries for a creative touch.
Step 8: Enjoy Responsibly
Sip and savor your refreshing Mojito. Adjust the sweetness or acidity to your liking, and relish the crisp combination of mint, lime, and rum.
Crafting refreshing Mojitos is an art that combines precision with creativity. By understanding the nuances of each ingredient and following the steps outlined in this guide, you'll be well-equipped to make Mojitos that are not only refreshing but also a testament to the classic cocktail craftsmanship. Cheers to enjoying the vibrant flavors of a perfectly crafted Mojito!

Captain Sunset Recipe
Shake rum, orange juice and cranberry juice in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into glass. Add grenadine and let it slowly settle.
Cranberry Juice
Cranberry Juice is rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, the compounds that fight free radicals and kills harmful bacteria. Cranberry juice is a home remedy for Urinary Tract Infection.
Pure Cranberry Juice is sour and bitter with very low sugar in it, and thus fortified Cranberry Juice is used for consumption and sugar is added to it for taste. The resulting juice tart and sweet and with a pH of 2.6 it is quite acidic and is an excellent substitute for Red Wine.Grenadine
Grenadine is a common non-alcoholic pomegranate syrup with a characteristic deep red colour. It is a very popular cocktail ingredient, used for its pomegranate flavour and more for its ability to add a reddish to pink tint to a cocktail.
The name Grenadine originates from the French for pomegranate, which is grenade.
Grenadine is not subjected to regulations like alcoholic beverages are, and there are no region specific formulae any more, and thus manufacturers often replace pomegranate with blackcurrant juice and other fruit juices while retaining the same flavour profile.
Many producers now use artificial ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, water, citric acid, sodium citrate, sodium benzoate and food grade red colour along with natural and artificial flavours.Orange Juice
Orange Juice is an excellent source of Vitamin C, one cup contains twice the daily recommended value. Vitamin C supports the immune system and helps fighting the common cold. The folate in Orange juice supports healthy fetal development. It is low calory and thus is already a qualified alternative to cola fizz in your cocktail if you want to keep your drinks acceptably healthy.
Orange Juice being citrus and naturally sweet and sour, it literally goes with almost any liquor, and of course Vodka being neutral, the best known pairing is with Vodka. But goes well with Dark Rum too, and you get the Planter's Punch, mix it with Champagne and you have made a mimosa, or with tequila to make a tequila sunrise.
