Gently muddle mint leaves and lime with brown sugar to release the aroma without shredding the leaves. Add rum and ice, stir, then top with soda water. Serve straight away while it is still fizzy.
Brown sugar gives a brown sugar mojito a deeper, slightly molasses-like sweetness than white sugar. It dissolves more easily if muddled with the lime, though larger crystals may need a little extra stirring.
Yes, dark rum works in a brown sugar mojito, but it gives the drink a richer, more pronounced rum and molasses flavor. White rum is the usual choice when you want the mint and lime to stand out.
Not because of the brown sugar: sweetness does not determine a brown sugar mojito’s alcohol strength. The amount and strength of rum poured do. A sweeter taste can make the alcohol less noticeable, so sip it slowly.
Yes, you can mix a pitcher of brown sugar mojito, but add the soda water and ice just before serving. That keeps the drink fizzy and prevents the mint from sitting in the mixture too long.
Yes, lightly muddling the mint releases its fragrant oils into a brown sugar mojito. Press the leaves rather than crushing them into pieces, which can make the drink taste bitter and leave bits in the glass.
You can, but freshly squeezed lime usually tastes brighter in a brown sugar mojito. Bottled juice can taste less fresh or more tart, so add it gradually and adjust the sweetness to suit your taste.
You can make a rum, lime, brown sugar, and soda drink without mint, but it will not have the characteristic mojito aroma. If mint is unavailable, another fresh herb changes the flavor rather than reproducing it.
No. A brown sugar mojito contains rum, and alcoholic drinks should be avoided during pregnancy. For a similar refreshing drink, leave out the rum and combine lime, mint, brown sugar, ice, and soda water.
A brown sugar mojito contains both alcohol and added sugar, which can affect blood glucose and may interact with diabetes medicines. Whether it is suitable depends on your treatment and health, so ask your clinician for personal guidance.

A brown sugar mojito is a Cuban-style cocktail made with rum, lime, fresh mint, brown sugar and soda water. Served over ice, it balances citrus and cooling mint with a soft, molasses-like sweetness from the sugar. Gently muddling the mint helps release its aroma without making the drink bitter.
In Cuba and at bars around the world, mojitos are commonly enjoyed as a refreshing warm-weather drink, often alongside small plates or snacks. This is an alcoholic cocktail, and much of its energy comes from the rum and added sugar; it provides 54 kcal per 100 g. For a less sweet glass, use less brown sugar and top up with soda water.
