Make a cocktail mojito with white rum, fresh mint and lime. These three simple ingredients create a refreshing drink sure to please everyone who you serve it!
The Best Rum for a Mojito
It's important to use a quality rum for this classic summer cocktail. Bacardi is the standard, but there are other brands that can work well. It is best not to use spiced Rums in your mojitos. They will take away the fresh mint, lime, and lime flavors.
Lime and Muddled Mint
Before adding the rum to a mojito mix, make sure you muddle the mint leaves with the lime. You'll get the flavorful oils which give the drink its distinctive flavor by doing so.
The leaves and lime can be muddled with a muddler by hand or by hand. However it's important that you don't muddle too often or you might end up with bitter tasting drinks. Instead, use the muddler to gently press the lime and mint, twisting it gently along the way.
Mix it with Sugar Syrup
Mixing ingredients with a bar spoon, muddler or a fork is the traditional way to make a cocktail. Then add ice and rum. You can also add sugar syrup if you want to make the drink easier. This can be used to control sugar levels and sweeten your drink.
Granulated sugar is the best choice for mojitos. However, many prefer superfine or caster sugar as it dissolves more easily in cold liquids and gives a smoother texture. Granulated sugar can sometimes leave behind small undissolved pieces in the drink.
If you don't want to use granulated sugar, you can substitute simple syrup in the recipe. You will need to mix the simple syrup with the rest of the ingredients before adding the ice or rum. This will ensure that the sugar dissolves.
This will ensure you get the most authentic mojito experience possible.
For a tasty mojito, you should always use sugar syrup and not sugar granules. Sugar granules can be difficult to mix and leave a grainy residue in your drink. This can make it a little less appealing.
A mojito is an excellent treat for the taste buds. A refreshing blend of rum, mint and lime can be enjoyed by anyone on a warm evening, by the pool, or for after-work snacks. You can even make a pitcher and share it with a crowd.

How To
How to make a martini that is good
A martini can be made from gin or vodka, vermouth, and water. Before serving, the ingredients should be thoroughly mixed. The chilled glass is preferred. A good martini should always be served straight up. Mixing it can ruin the flavor.
A martini can be served with two olives. Olive brine can be added to the rim of the glass to enhance the flavor.
While you can use any alcohol, it's better to use 100% of the grain alcohol like Vodka and Gin. This gives the cocktail more texture. There are many kinds of vermouths. However, we recommend choosing one that doesn't contain added sugar. Sugar can make cocktails too sweet.
To make a martini, add 2 ounces of dry vodka to a shaker. 1 ounce vodka is added. Shake vigorously until well combined. Pour into a chilled martini glass and garnish with an olive.
To make a martini using a shaker, follow the same steps above. You don't need to shake the mixture much, just enough to combine the ingredients.
