Mojito drink became a real hit of the 2012 season. Most likely, he will not give up his leading positions in the summer of 2013. Almost every bar now serves this cocktail, both in alcoholic, classic and non-alcoholic versions. Naturally, the fashion for a drink is immediately reflected in its price. But what if you are not a professional bartender and have nothing to do with this profession? So how do you make your own mojito? Yes, very easy! Read the recipe and follow it.

It doesn't take too much to make a newfangled cocktail. But it is better not to replace the ingredients that are required with something else - even if it seems to you that the difference between lime and lemon is insignificant, and white sugar cannot be distinguished from overseas cane sugar at all. The taste of the drink will be completely different: it will be mint-rum lemonade, but not the famous cocktail. Mineral water also plays a significant role in making the mojito more expressive. Light soda water is best, as well as Sprite or Schweppes tonic, but always clear, without cranberries.

As you may have noticed, in bars this cocktail is served in wide glasses. In them we will cook our mojito. Of course, if you are planning to serve a drink to a large group, this will be somewhat inconvenient. But if you have a romantic evening together, then such a cocktail is a great way to show your individual approach, as well as touching care for the girl. Stock up on ice cubes ahead of time. One little secret on how to make a mojito very alcoholic at first, and completely non-alcoholic at the end: freeze not plain water, but soda. Then you will first enjoy the taste of rum, lime and mint, and in the end the thawed tonic will refresh your palate.

So, how to make a mojito at home for two? My lime, cut it into quarters. Pour into glasses a spoonful - one and a half cane sugar. Squeeze juice from a quarter of a lime. Crusts should be placed at the bottom of the glasses. We tear a bunch of mint with our hands (a knife blade oxidizes the leaves). With a pestle, and in the Spartan conditions of a hostel - with another wooden object, we crush the mixture. This is necessary so that the necessary essential oils stand out, otherwise the drink will not be so fragrant. To activate the process, you can add a spoonful of boiling water - then the mint will completely give up its flavor. I put ice cubes. They must fill the glass for onethird.

To make a mojito at home, you can take any light rum, although experts strongly recommend Bacardi. Add alcohol to your taste: someone likes it stronger, and someone likes low alcohol. Using a cocktail spoon (in the hostel - a pencil), mix the ingredients, but not very much. Add soda so that the glass is almost full. Decorate the edges of the glass with the remaining lime quarters and mint leaves.

How to make a non-alcoholic mojito? Just skip the rum and add more soda instead. If a girl has a sweet tooth, she will surely like mojitos with modifications. For example, before preparing a drink, dip the wet rim of the glass in sugar to form a “hoarfrost”, and finally decorate the cocktail with a tangerine slice.
