How-to
Prepare Mojito Base
- Beat the sugar, lime juice, and mint (including the stalks) together until you have a greenish liquid and the mint is completely chopped
- Add the rum and beat for one more minute
Note: This liquid can be kept in the fridge for at least a month!
Make Mojito Cocktail
- Fill a tall glass one-quarter of the way with the prepared mojito base
- Add 3 ice cubes and fill the glass with sparkling water
- Add a sprig of mint, stir and serve. It doesn't matter if no mint is available, as the cocktail base is already flavored with mint
