 Tasty Lemon Mojito- Mojito Recipe

The Lemon Mojito is a vibrant, zesty variation of the classic Mojito Recipe, swapping out the traditional lime for the bright, tangy flavor of lemon. Visually, it’s a feast for the eyes: served in a tall, clear glass, the drink reveals a layer of crushed green mint leaves at the bottom, mingling with a sprinkle of granulated sugar that partially dissolves into the mixture. The pale yellow hue of fresh lemon juice blends with the crystal-clear white rum, creating a light, refreshing base. 

This is topped with a generous handful of ice cubes that glisten in the glass, followed by a fizzy cascade of club soda that adds effervescence and a subtle shimmer to the drink.

Ingredients:

• 10 fresh mint leaves (plus extra for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon sugar (adjust to taste)
• 1 ounce fresh lemon juice (about half a lemon)
• 2 ounces white rum
• Club soda (to top off)
• Ice
• Lemon slice (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Muddle the Mint and Sugar: In a sturdy glass, add the mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler (or the back of a spoon) to gently crush the mint leaves with the sugar until the mint releases its aroma and the sugar starts to dissolve.
2. Add Lemon Juice: Squeeze fresh lemon juice into the glass and stir to combine with the mint-sugar mixture.
3. Add Rum: Pour in the white rum and stir well to mix all the flavors.
4. Add Ice: Fill the glass with ice cubes.
5. Top with Club Soda: Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full, and give it a gentle stir.
6. Garnish: Add a sprig of mint and a lemon slice on the rim or in the drink for presentation.
7. Serve: Enjoy your refreshing Lemon Mojito immediately!
