Tips for Making the BEST Mojitos

• Chill your glasses ahead of time to help ensure the cocktail remains cool to the very last sip.
• Choose premium liquors for the best results. You don’t need to reach for the top shelf but at least avoid scraping the bottom of the barrel.
• Fresh squeezed juice goes a long way with cocktails.
• To make sure your cocktail is properly chilled, consider using larger ice cubes. They melt slower and won’t water down your drink as quickly.
• Blending everything together is a good shortcut, for a more classic appearance though you can muddle the strawberries, mint, lime juice, and simple syrup together. Muddling is a technique used to gently mash herbs or fruit to release their juices. You can do this with the bottom of a wooden spoon or with a proper muddler.
• You can also pour your cocktail into a cocktail shaker with ice before dividing into glasses and topping with soda.
• If you prefer, you can also strain the cocktail for a more smooth mouthfeel.

Equipment Needed to Make a Mojito

• Tall glassses (16-18 oz highball glasses like these is best)
• Straws (I like to use stainless steel straws like these)

If using blender method:

• A blender (I like to use my blendtec blender for most jobs, but for blending without ice I’ll usually grab my portable blender.)

If muddling:

• A cocktail shaker
• A cocktail muddler

About the Ingredients for Strawberry Mango Mojitos

Strawberries – Use fresh local strawberries if possible for the best flavour. You can also use thawed frozen strawberries.

Mint – Use fresh, large leaves of any variety of mint.

Mango nectar – You can buy mango nectar at most grocery stores. It is mango puree blended with water and a sweetener. For best results, do not substitute with mango juice.

Lime juice – You will need the juice of one medium lime. You can substitute with lime juice but fresh will gve you better results.

Rum – Use a good quality white rum, do not substitute with any other kind of rum. A clear rum is a must for mojitos.

Soda – You can use nearly any clear carbonated unflavoured or citrus soda. Club soda or soda water are the best choices, but sprite works too!
