Classic Mojito

The Classic Mojito is a refreshing and invigorating cocktail that perfectly blends the crisp, clean taste of Big Storm Silver Rum with fresh mint, lime, and a touch of sweetness. The muddled mint and sugar create a fragrant base, while the lime juice adds a zesty kick. Topped with soda water for a fizzy finish, this cocktail is perfect for hot summer days or any time you crave a light and revitalizing drink. Garnished with a mint sprig and lime wheel, the Mojito is a delightful mix of flavors and aromas that captures the essence of a tropical getaway.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Big Storm Silver Rum

  • 1 oz fresh lime juice

  • 2 teaspoons sugar

  • 6-8 fresh mint leaves

  • Soda water

  • Ice

  • Mint sprig and lime wheel (for garnish)

Preparation

  1. Muddle Mint and Sugar: In a tall glass, muddle the fresh mint leaves and sugar together. This helps release the mint's essential oils and dissolves the sugar.

  2. Add Lime Juice and Rum: Pour in the fresh lime juice and Big Storm Silver Rum.

  3. Stir and Add Ice: Stir the mixture to combine the flavors. Fill the glass with ice.

  4. Top with Soda Water: Top off the drink with soda water to your desired level, usually around 2-3 oz. Stir gently.

  5. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a sprig of mint and a lime wheel. Enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
