Ice cubes– You can used crushed ice or ice cubes, whichever you prefer. (Crushed ice melts faster, so I generally prefer ice cubes.) One last thing about this Mojito recipe before we get to that recipe! Many purists argue over the right ice to use in this classic drink: crushed ice or cubed. In our research, we’ve found this: crushed ice melts faster. So if sparkling water is added as part of a drink, you should use ice cubes, not crushed ice that might water it down more. White rum– If you don’t have any rum you could use vodka, but for a classic mojito this is a key ingredient. The key to making the BEST mojito is the simple syrup! It’s incredibly easy and can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for later!

Gently mash the mint a few times with a muddler (or the bottom of the wooden spoon) to release the oils from the mint. It’s simple to whip up a classic Mojito in the glass. But if you’re having a party, how do you make enough drinks for the crowd? Try a Mojito pitcher! This way you don’t have to muddle mint every time (though you can, if you’d like!).

Calling this the “best” mojito is a bold statement, I know, so allow me to provide you with evidence. I’m very fond of this recipe for a few different reasons: Serve it chilled.Mojitos that are served extra chilled and cold go down so much smoother. Just make sure you chill the simple syrup fully!

Simple syrup– This requires a combination of granulated sugar, water, mint leaves, and lime juice. See how it all comes together below. Muddling is a technique used in drinks to gently mash herbs or fruit to release their juices. You can do this with the bottom of a wooden spoon or with a proper muddler. Either way will work! In a medium-sized lowball glass or highball, add 6 mint leaves, lime wedges, and 2 tablespoons sugar, adding ½ lime at a a time. Muddle until lime juice is released and mint is fragrant.
