Canadian Mojito Recipes

Steps:

• Place mint leaves and 1 lime wedge into a sturdy glass. Use a muddler to crush the mint and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice. Add 2 more lime wedges and the sugar, and muddle again to release the lime juice. Do not strain the mixture. Fill the glass almost to the top with ice. Pour the rum over the ice, and fill the glass with carbonated water. Stir, taste, and add more sugar if desired. Garnish with the remaining lime wedge.

• In cocktail shaker, combine mint leaves, blueberries and lime juice; muddle. Add lemonade and rye; top with ice cubes. Shake well. Strain into old-fashioned glass. Add splash of soda water.

Steps:

• Cut a round slice of lime, 1 cm thick and slice it into 4 equal parts. Put the four lime wedges into a glass, then add the sugar and muddle (squish everything together) to release the lime juice and aroma. Do it gently because hard squishing may release the bitterness from the white part of the lime.
• Put the mint leaves on one hand and clap in order to lightly bruise the leaves to releases the aroma. Rub the mint leaves around the rim of the glass and drop them inches Use a muddler, bar spoon (or even a rolling pin) to gently push the mint down into the lime juice.
• Half fill the glass with crushed ice and pour in the rum. Stir the mix together until the sugar dissolves.
• Top up with crushed ice, a splash of the sparkling water and garnish it with a sprig of mint.

Steps:

• Combine the lime, sugar, and mint in a martini shaker or wide glass. Use a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon to smash and crush everything together to release the oils and juice.
• When there is a good amount of juice and the sugar begins to dissolve, add the rum and stir to combine.
• Fill two glasses with ice, divide the mixture between glasses, and top off with some soda water. Garnish with a couple of mint leaves and sugar cane stalks.
