Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 1 whole Fresh lime
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 inch Fresh ginger
- 2 ounces White rum
- 4 ounces Club soda
- 1 cup Crushed ice
- 2 slices Lime slices
- 1 piece Mint sprig
Instructions
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger into a small bowl to release the juices. Set aside for later use.
Cut the lime into quarters. In a sturdy glass or a cocktail shaker, combine the lime quarters, mint leaves, and sugar.
Muddle the lime, mint, and sugar together using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon, pressing just enough to release the juices and mint oils without shredding the mint leaves.
Add the grated ginger and any juices from the bowl into the mixture. Muddle lightly to incorporate the ginger flavor.
Pour in the white rum and stir to combine.
Add the crushed ice to fill the glass or shaker halfway, then pour in the club soda for a fizzy finish.
If using a shaker, gently stir with a spoon before straining into a tall glass filled with fresh crushed ice, or pour the prepared mixture directly into a serving glass.
Garnish with lime slices and a sprig of mint for a polished presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Ginger Mint Mojito!
