Easy Ginger Mojito
A refreshing twist on the classic mojito, featuring zesty ginger, fresh mint, lime, and rum. Perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 oz white rum
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 1/2 oz ginger syrup (see tips)
- 6-8 fresh mint leaves
- 2-3 thin slices of fresh ginger
- 1/2 oz simple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
- Soda water or sparkling water (to top)
- Ice cubes
- Mint sprig, lime wedge, and ginger slice for garnish
Instructions
- In a tall glass, add the fresh ginger slices, mint leaves, and lime juice. Gently muddle to release the mint’s aroma and the ginger’s flavor.
- Pour in the white rum and ginger syrup. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add simple syrup as well. Stir gently to combine.
- Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving enough room to top with soda water.
- Top the drink with soda water or sparkling water for a fizzy finish. Stir gently to mix.
- Garnish with a mint sprig, lime wedge, and a thin slice of fresh ginger for an elegant presentation.
- Serve immediately and savor the zesty, refreshing flavors of your Ginger Mojito!
Notes
- Ginger Syrup: To make homemade ginger syrup, simmer 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, and 1/4 cup thinly sliced ginger in a saucepan for 5-10 minutes.
- Let it cool, strain, and store in the fridge.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer ginger slices.
- For a mocktail version, skip the rum and add extra soda water for a refreshing ginger-mint cooler.
The Ginger Mojito is a refreshing blend of bold ginger and classic mojito flavors, making it the perfect drink for cooling down or kicking off a celebration.
Cheers to a zesty sip! 🌿
