Ingredients
- 10 mint leaves
- 1 oz lime juice (1 lime)
- 1 oz honey
- 4 oz light rum
- 4 oz apple cider
- 6-8 ice cubes, crushed
- 6 oz club soda
- lime wedges, apple slices and mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Place mint leaves, lime juice, honey and rum 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.
- Add the apple cider and mix until combined. Fill two glasses ⅔ of the way full with the apple cider mixture and ice.
- Top with club soda. Add extra mint leaves, apples 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. 10 leaves is enough for 2 drinks.
- 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.
- Used crushed ice which will make the mojito colder quicker.
