My version of the Best Mojito is a crafted cocktail made with plenty of fresh mint, fresh lime juice, sugar, rum, seltzer, and a splash of liqueur that binds it all together, delivering a seamless and refreshing sip.
In a tall, 12 oz glass, add mint leaves, 2 slices of lime (that have been sliced and halved ) and sugar. Using a muddling tool, muddle ingredients in the bottom of the glass for seven turns to release the flavor and juices. (Do not over muddle.) Add one more slice of lime (halved) and fill the glass to the top with chipped ice.
8 leaves of fresh mint, 3 slices of lime, 1-1/2 tbsps. ultrafine baker's sugar, chipped ice
Pour Bacardi and Cointreau over ice and fill to the top with San Pellegrino. Garnish with more lime and mint. Serve with a regular sized straw, using it to release more of the mint flavor and dissolve the sugar on the bottom of the glass.
1.75 oz. Bacardi Superior rum, 0.5 oz. Cointreau, San Pellegrino sparkling mineral water, lime and mint for garnish
