📝 Ingredients (Serves 1 glass):
Ingredient Quantity
Fresh mint leaves 10-12 leaves
Lemon ½, cut into wedges
Sugar 1-2 tsp (adjust to taste)
Readymade mojito syrup 2-3 tbsp
Ice cubes as needed
Soda water or chilled water ½ cup
Lemon slice & mint sprig for garnish
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Method:
Step 1: Muddle the Mint

In a sturdy glass, add mint leaves, lemon wedges, and sugar.

Gently muddle (press and twist) with a muddler or spoon handle to release mint oils and lemon juice.

Don't over-muddle – this can make the drink bitter.

Step 2: Add Syrup & Ice

Pour in the readymade mojito syrup.

Fill the glass completely with ice cubes.

Step 3: Top with Soda/Water

Pour soda water or chilled water over the ice.

Stir well to combine all flavors.

Step 4: Garnish & Serve

Garnish with a lemon slice and fresh mint sprig.

Serve immediately with a straw.

💡 Pro Tips for the Perfect Mojito:
⚠️ Gentle Muddling: Press just enough to release flavors – crushing mint too hard releases bitterness.

⚠️ Syrup Choice: Use any brand of mojito syrup (green or plain). Adjust quantity based on sweetness preference.

⚠️ Lemon First: Add lemon wedges before mint – they release juice easily and protect mint from over-muddling.

⚠️ Chill Everything: Use chilled soda/water for the best refreshing experience.

⚠️ Make It Sparkling: For extra fizz, use soda water instead of plain water.

🍹 Recipe Variations:
Variation How to Make
Alcoholic Mojito Add 30-60 ml white rum
Virgin Mojito Skip rum – delicious mocktail version
Fruity Mojito Add muddled strawberries, mango, or blueberries
Spicy Mojito Add a slice of jalapeño or ginger while muddling
Coconut Mojito Use coconut water instead of soda
