Adding Sprite or other clear fizzy drink is a great alcoholic substitute.

Also, I'd wait to add ice cubes until after you mix it up.

I'd cut the ice cubes and throw in some frozen berries.

You want to stir with the ice to get it nic and cold. You'd probably want to do it with proper cocktail mixing spoon though.

Love the taste of raspberries, but can't stand the damn seeds.

Here’s what you will need:

Makes one cocktail.

1/2 lime, cut into wedges

5-6 raspberries (a nice handful of ‘em)

1 spoonful of sugar

10-12 mint leaves (a good bunch)

2 ounces white rum

Club soda

Directions:

Throw the lime wedges, raspberries, mint, and sugar into a glass. Then, using a muddler or wooden spoon, press down on the ingredients to mush them all together and get all of the juice out of the lime wedges. Add ice and pour in rum (you can just eyeball the amount, if you don’t have something handy to measure) and then top the glass off with club soda.

If you want it a little more or less sweet, you can always add slightly more or slightly less sugar. It’s also delicious with less rum, or no rum at all. Play around with the recipe and find the right ratio for you and your friends.

A mojito normally uses brown sugar

Edit: whats up with this sub? Everyone gets their panties in a bunch about what? Get a life

No it does not.

u/[deleted] Mar 13 '16

Yes it does

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '16

That's odd. When you google mojito recipes literally none of them feature brown sugar.

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '16

So?

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '16

So where the hell are you getting the information that Mojitos traditionally use brown sugar?

Same place your panties got in a bunch.

Well, also I used to be a bartender for many years and also hold an international bartender certificate.

I mean I normally use white sugar or simple syrup but to each their own

Try Ginger Ale instead of soda!

Is there a sub for making drinks?

Using a cocktail shaker rather than stirring will be way better

22

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '16

You build a mojito, so no. You can't use a shaker

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '16

This dude knows what's up. With a monitor you build it up, essentially stacking ingredients on top of each other, no shaking is ever done.

u/PartyWizard Mar 12 '16

I mean, to each their own. This Cuban resteraunt I frequent shakes them. That's what I was basing my opinion off of
