Refreshing and invigorating, our Shamrock Mojito combines fresh mint, lime, and a hint of Irish spirit for a festive twist on this classic cocktail.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 oz white rum
  • 10 mint leaves
  • 1 oz lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • Soda water to top off
  • Green food coloring 1 drop, optional for the shamrock twist

Instructions

  • Put the mint leaves and lime juice into your tall glass.
  • Add the sugar, then use your muddler to gently press them together to release the mint flavors and lime juice.
  • Add 2 more lime wedges and muddle again (don't squash them too hard).
  • Fill the glass with ice cubes.
  • Pour in the rum and add a drop of green food coloring if you're going for that shamrock vibe.
  • Top it off with soda water and stir well.
  • Garnish with a mint sprig and maybe a slice of lime.
