Frequently Asked Questions About The Recipe:
I like my mojito on the sweeter side, but not too sweet. If you don't like sweet at all, I suggest cutting the mango nectar in half, leaving out the simple syrup and using a larger glass to pour in more club soda.
You are looking for a clear or white rum. I used Plantation 3 Stars Rum, which is delicious and I highly recommend. It ranks number 1 on the 16 best rums for mojitos by Tastingtable.com too. It's worth a try!
Absolutely! You will be looking at your average mojito then, which isn't a bad thing. Just leave out the mango nectar and you can add in more simple syrup according to the sweetness you like.
You can use the back of a wooden spoon. If you are interested in purchasing one, you can find the link to the cocktail shaker, which comes with a muddler in the recipe card below. It is fairly inexpensive, and I use my kit all the time.
It is in the international section at the grocery store. This was the Goya brand.
The Ingredients:
White or Clear Rum- This particular Plantation 3 Stars Rum has a very light flavor and is perfect for a mojito.
Mint- Muddled to release a mild mint flavor. This drink only has a touch of mint. If you want a really strong taste, you can increase the amount of leaves.
Mango Nectar- Sweetened mango puree is added for a delicious splash of mango flavor.
Simple Syrup- (Optional) Adds a bit of sweetness.
Lime- For a citrus kick and a traditional ingredient in mojitos.
Club Soda- Used for topping off the mojito and adds a bubbly component to the cocktail.

Add in the simple syrup, mango nectar, rum, juice from ½ a lime and top with ice. Shake this up well.
Fill two cocktail glasses with ice. Pour the shaker ingredients over the top to a little over half full.
Top with club soda.
