The Easiest Mojito Recipe You’ll Find

When visiting some friends last summer, I was pleasantly surprised by the weather: Sunny and fresh for most of the days I spent there, but in the last few days I was close to put my head inside the fridge. The heat was unbearable and while it might have been nice if we were by the beach, the truth is that sitting in the kitchen preparing food for a party wasn’t at all great. But when I opened one of the refrigerator drawers and found my friend had some fresh mint, something popped into my mind right away: Mojitos!

I jumped at the chance of making a pitch full of the most refreshing drink ever for us to try during that time of heat. And I mean, what’s not to love about fresh mint leaves with limes,  a tad of soda water and rum to give it a punch, in an ice-cold presentation? I want to share the recipe I used so you can double it to make whatever amount you want whether it is to entertain your guests or enjoy by yourself watching an action movie.

Easiest Mojito’s ever

6 ounces of clear rum

10 mint leaves, some of them broken apart

4 tsp of white sugar

3 ounces of lime juice

Soda water

Half lime, sliced

Ice

Toss the sugar and some ice in the bottom of a drink mixer or a high pitcher, depending on the amount you are making; put half of the mint leaves and the limes juice with the rum and about 1/4 of soda water per drink.  Mix well and decorate with whole mint leaves, a slice of lime and a straw.
