Ingredients

  • 5 mint leaves
  • 2 oz white rum
  • 1 oz lime juice (1 lime)
  • 1 oz Blue Curacao
  • ¾ oz honey
  • 6-8 ice cubes, crushed
  • 2 oz club soda
  • lime wedges and mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  • Place mint leaves, lime juice, honey, rum and Blue Curacao to a cocktail shaker. Use a muddler to gently muddle the mint leaves, but don't muddle too much or you'll break up the leaves.
  • Fill glass ⅔ of the way full with the mixture and ice.
  • Top with club soda. Add extra mint leaves and lime for garnish.

Notes

  • Do not over muddle the mint or you will turn the taste bitter.
  • Don't overdo it with the mint. A little goes a long way. 5 leaves is enough for 1 drink.
  • Use honey instead of simple syrup. It may not be traditional but takes less work and adds additional flavor.
  • Use light rum when making the mojito. Gold or dark rum can muddy the flavor and ruin the color.
  • Use crushed ice which will make the mojito colder quicker.
