Impress your guests at your next outdoor dinner, or relax by the pool in style, with this easy-to-make cocktail that never disappoints.

Here’s how to prepare it:

Ingredients per glass:

  • 6 mint leaves, plus additional leaves for garnish
  • 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) lime juice
  • 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) simple syrup
  • 2 ounces (4 tablespoons) white rum
  • 2 to 4 ounces (½ cup) soda water

Preparation:

  1. In a cocktail shaker, muddle the mint leaves with a muddler or an unfinished wooden spoon. The goal is to “bruise” the leaves to release the flavour, not crush and break them, so only mash them 3 or 4 times.
  2. Add the lime juice, rum, and simple syrup. Then, fill the cocktail shaker with ice and shake until cold.
  3. Place ice into a glass and pour the cocktail over it using a cocktail strainer. Top off the glass with soda water and garnish with additional mint leaves.

Voilà! A simple yet refined cocktail that totally screams summer fun! To serve a crowd, prepare a pitcher of mojitos by quadrupling the recipe. If you make this recipe and want to share it with us, tag us on Instagram @stokesstores and use the hashtag #StokesMoments.
