Servings: 1 Brazilian Mojito
Calories: 241kcal
Ingredients
- 1 oz. Cachaca substitute rum if you can't find it
- 1 oz. Triple Sec
- 10 fresh mint leaves or mint sprigs
- 1 Tbsp. sugar brown sugar works nicely, too
- 1/2 lime cut into 6 wedges
- Ice
- Water I used still, but sparkling would be lovely, too
Instructions
- Using a muddler (or the back of a wooden spoon), muddle the mint leaves and sugar together in the bottom of a rocks glass. When you think you're done, muddle it for another 30 seconds. You want it to be really muddy.
- Add the lime wedges and muddle for another 60 seconds.
- Fill the glass with ice, and pour in the cachaça and triple sec over the top.
- Top it off with water and give it a few swirls with a stir stick. Alternatively, you can make this in a cocktail shaker and pour the mixture over ice.
- Garnish with an extra lime wedge, and enjoy your drink!
Notes
Storage Info:
Brazilian Mojitos are best enjoyed fresh and aren't ideal for long-term storage. If necessary, you can store the mixture without ice in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. If you've stored your mojito in the fridge, simply give it a good stir or shake before serving to rejuvenate its flavors.
