An alcoholic mojito cocktail is made with white rum, fresh mint, lime juice, sugar, soda water, and ice. Gently press the mint with the sugar and lime, add rum and ice, then top with soda and stir lightly.
White rum is the usual choice for an alcoholic mojito cocktail because its lighter flavor lets the mint and lime stand out. Aged rum works too, but gives the drink a richer, more pronounced flavor.
The alcoholic mojito cocktail originated in Cuba and is closely associated with Havana. Its classic combination of rum, mint, lime, sugar, and soda has inspired many fruit-flavored versions, but those are modern variations.
Yes, but press the mint gently in an alcoholic mojito cocktail rather than crushing it. Light muddling releases the aroma; tearing or grinding the leaves can make the drink taste bitter and overly grassy.
An alcoholic mojito cocktail traditionally uses plain club soda or soda water, not tonic. Tonic's bitterness and distinctive flavor can overpower the clean, fresh balance of mint and lime.
Yes, Sprite can replace soda water in an alcoholic mojito cocktail, but it makes the drink sweeter and less traditional. Reduce or omit the added sugar so the lime and mint remain noticeable.
An alcoholic mojito cocktail is Cuban, not Mexican. Rum, rather than tequila, is the spirit in the traditional Cuban drink; recipes made with tequila are variations rather than classic mojitos.
It is best to make an alcoholic mojito cocktail shortly before serving. Mint and lime lose freshness as they sit, while soda goes flat. For a group, prepare the rum, lime, and sugar mixture ahead, then add mint, ice, and soda when serving.
The strength of an alcoholic mojito cocktail depends on how much rum is used and its alcohol content. Soda dilutes the drink but does not remove its alcohol, so avoid driving after drinking it.
No. An alcoholic mojito cocktail contains rum, and no safe amount of alcohol during pregnancy has been established. Choose a virgin mojito made with mint, lime, sugar, and soda water instead.

Alcoholic mojito cocktail is a Cuban drink made with rum, mint, lime, sugar and sparkling water. The mint and lime are muddled to release their aroma, then mixed with rum and served over ice.
Its sweet-sour flavour, cooling mint and lively fizz make it popular in warm weather, both in Cuba and at bars or home gatherings around the world. It pairs well with light savoury snacks. The drink gets much of its energy from alcohol and added sugar; it provides 74 calories per 100 g. For a less sweet version, use less syrup and more sparkling water, and enjoy it in moderation.
