Step-by-step Guide
Mix
- Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl, ensuring they are evenly incorporated. Sifting them may be helpful to avoid lumps.
- In another bowl, add the liquid ingredients and whisk them with a hand mixer until well combined, approximately 2 minutes.
- Slowly combine the dry ingredients with the liquid, stirring with a spatula until you achieve a homogeneous and lump-free batter. Avoid over-mixing to maintain the texture.
Presentation
- Serve in a well-chilled medium glass.
Recommendations & Tricks
- Use freshly washed mint, lightly pressed with your hand to better release its essential oils before adding it to the drink.
- Dissolve the sugar with a bit of lime juice before adding the rest of the ingredients to ensure that the sweetness is well distributed.
- Serve the mojito with crushed ice instead of ice cubes to keep it cold longer and enhance its visual presentation.
