I have been told previously that I'm a bartender's nightmare because I always order a mojito. After making these, I really don't feel that bad about it. The only extra step from a usual cocktail is muddling the mint, which is actually pretty fun. Plus, it's so tasty! Trust me, you have to try this one!

Frequently Asked Questions About The Recipe:

Is this mojito sweet?

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.

What Rum is good for Mojitos?

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!

Can I make this recipe without the mango?

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.

What can I use to muddle without a cocktail muddler?

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.

Where can I find mango nectar?

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.

Into a shaker, add in the mint leaves and muddle. Twist the muddler into the mint leaves about 5 times to release juice. Once you begin to smell the strong mint, you can stop. You don't want to shred the leaves.
