A Mojito that can keep you fresh!

  • 2 to 4 strawberries, hulled and sliced (4 if small berries, 3 if medium, 2 if truly massive)

  • 8 mint leaves

  • 1/2 ounce simple syrup (1:1 sugar and water; I prefer turbinado sugar)

  • 3/4 ounce fresh squeezed lime juice

  • 2 ounces white rum

  • 1 ounce sparkling water

  • Crushed ice

 
  1. Muddle the strawberries:

    Place the strawberries, mint, and simple syrup in the bottom of a glass, and muddle until the strawberries are smushed and juicy. If you don’t have a muddler, crumple the mint with your hands just a bit before dropping it into the glass, then smush with the back of a spoon to release the flavor.

     
  2. Add the remaining ingredients:

    Add crushed ice on top of the strawberries and mint, then pour in the lime juice and rum.

     
  3. Stir:

    Use a bar spoon or teaspoon to stir the drink. Don't stir too vigorously, otherwise you'll bring the mint to the surface!

     
  4. Top with sparkling water:

    Fill the remainder of the glass with more crushed ice, then top with sparkling water.
