Brew Bistro’s Mojitos are HEAVENLY.
Yumm!!.
Mojito are the best alcoholic drinks I could ever recommend anyone looking for a bitter sweet drink with a little mint taste at the back of your tongue. It is my ultimate drink of the year, right after 4 cousins white wine. Yet so refreshing.
Mojito -pronounced as { moʊˈhiːtoʊ/}, is basically an alcoholic drink that normally consists of five ingredients: Rum, mint leaves, white sugar {alternative – sugar cane juice acts as a syrup}, ice cubes, and lime juice. You don’t necessarily have to use these exact ingredients to make your own. This is where you get creative and break the rules just a little.
Normally, this is the method for making a normal Mojito.
Step 1:
Take a tall glass, add in {a tot} of lime juice, syrup { its easy to dissolve in liquid- compared to solid sugar} and mint leaves.
Step 2:
Mix the mixture by using a wooden muddler {Its a bar tender tool used to mash solid ingredients in order to get its juice}. The mint leaves should only be gently mashed and not shredded.
Step 3:
Add the rum into the mixture and gently stir it, so as to lift the mint leaves to the bottom to at-least look presentable.
Step 4:
Top the drink with whole ice cubes, add sparkling soda water and mint leaves. Garnish the glass with a sliced lemon wedge.
My version of how to make: A virgin Mojito with Apple juice.
Ingredients:
1/2 a glass of Ice cubes or 1 cup of crushed ice cubes
1 tsp of sugar {can be -white or brown}
1/4 glass of apple juice
1/2 glass of ginger ale or lemonade
1 full lemon
8 mint leaves {Optional}
Normal Straws {Cut into halves}
Method
Step 1: Using glass, add in 4 mint leaves, and sugar.
Step 2: GentlyMash together the added ingredients as you add in bits of the apple juice.
Step 3: Add in the remaining apple juice, pour in little quantities of lemonade, and remaining 4 mint leaves.
Step 4: Slice the lemon into halves and quarters and garnish {Decorate} the glass with a slice and drop in some quarter pieces in the drink.
Step 5: Gentle stir and its ready.
