Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Midori melon liqueur
- 1 ounce White rum
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 4 ounces Club soda
- 1 cup Crushed ice
- 1 serving Optional lime wedge and mint sprig for garnish
Instructions
1. In a sturdy glass (or cocktail shaker if preferred), add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar.
2. Cut the lime in half. Reserve one half for garnish if desired, and juice the other half directly into the glass.
3. Gently muddle the mint, sugar, and lime juice with a muddler or the back of a spoon. The goal is to release the mint's aroma without tearing the leaves too much.
4. Add the Midori melon liqueur and white rum to the mixture. Stir gently to combine.
5. Fill the glass with crushed ice, nearly to the top.
6. Pour the club soda over the ice and stir gently to mix the flavors without disturbing the carbonation too much.
7. Optionally, garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint for an extra touch of elegance.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant and refreshing Midori Melon Mojito!
