Recipe of Mojito
Vida Recetas Editorial
The mojito is a classic Cuban cocktail that has conquered the world with its freshness and balance. This easy recipe guides you step by step to prepare an authentic mojito at home, perfect for any occasion, from a summer afternoon to a party with friends.
Originating from Havana, this cocktail combines white rum, lime, mint, sugar, and soda, creating a light and aromatic drink. The key is to gently muddle the mint with the sugar to release its essential oils without bitterness, and to use fresh lime juice for a vibrant citrus touch.
Ideal for those looking for a refreshing and not-too-sweet drink, the mojito is versatile: you can adjust the sugar to your taste or even try variations with fruits like strawberry or mango. Serve it well chilled with plenty of ice and garnish with mint and lime for a spectacular result.
