To make an alcoholic mojito, gently press fresh mint with lime juice and sugar, add white rum and ice, then top with soda water. Stir lightly so the mint stays aromatic rather than bitter.
An alcoholic mojito typically contains rum, fresh mint, lime, sugar, soda water, and ice. Some recipes use sugar syrup instead of granulated sugar, while fruit versions add ingredients such as berries.
White rum is the classic choice for an alcoholic mojito because its lighter flavor lets the mint and lime stand out. Aged rum works too, but gives the drink a deeper, more noticeable rum flavor.
A classic alcoholic mojito uses plain soda water or sparkling water, not Sprite. Sprite adds sweetness and a lemon-lime flavor, so the drink tastes different and may need less added sugar.
The alcoholic mojito is a Cuban cocktail. Its familiar combination of rum, mint, lime, sugar, and soda water has spread worldwide, with bars and home recipes adapting the fruit and sweetener.
Yes, press the mint gently to release its aroma in an alcoholic mojito. Avoid crushing or shredding the leaves, which can bring out a harsh, bitter taste.
Yes, vodka can replace rum in an alcoholic mojito, but the result is a variation rather than the classic cocktail. Rum gives the traditional drink its characteristic flavor.
Yes, you can leave out the sugar in an alcoholic mojito, but the lime will taste sharper. You can adjust the sweetness with a small amount of sugar syrup or another sweetener.
It is best to make an alcoholic mojito just before serving. The mint can lose its fresh aroma, melting ice dilutes the drink, and soda water goes flat if it sits.
No, an alcoholic mojito should not be treated as a hydrating drink. Its soda water does not cancel the effects of alcohol, so choose water to rehydrate and avoid relying on the cocktail for fluids.

An Alcoholic mojito is a Cuban cocktail made with rum, fresh mint, lime, sugar and soda water. The mint and lime bring a bright, fragrant tartness, while the rum adds warmth and the soda gives the drink a light, fizzy finish.
It is usually served cold, often as a summer drink or alongside small savoury bites; in Cuba it is a familiar bar cocktail, and elsewhere it is popular at social gatherings. Its carbohydrates mainly come from the added sugar, while protein and fat are negligible. For a less sweet version, use less sugar or syrup and add more soda water and lime.
