Sugar-free mojito
Mojito is a typical alcoholic drink from Latin America, precisely from Cuba. It is considered a highball because, like rum and cola and seven and seven, the alcoholic base spirit is mixed with a larger portion of non-alcoholic ingredients. This recipe is for sugar-free refreshing summer mojito!
Equipment
- 250ml glass
Ingredients
- 12 mint leaves fresh
- 0.5 lime if you prefer, use a bit more lime
- sweetener of choice to replace 2 tbsp sugar
- ice cubes
- 40 milliliters rum
- sparkling water
- 4 mint leaves to garnish
Instructions
- Cut the lime half into four wedges. Using a mortar and pestle, crush the mint leaves and 1 lime wedge. Add 2 more lime wedges and the sweetener. Crush and mix to dilute the sweetener into the juice. (You don't need to crush the leaves completely. It is enough to gently crush the leaves to release the mint oils.)
- Pour the mixture, with all the crushed mint leaves and lime wedges. into a glass. Fill with ice almost to the top.
- Pour the rum and fill the rest of the glass with sparkling water. Stir and taste. You can add more sweetener if you prefer.
