Ingredients
- 8 fresh mint large leaves
- 4 lices cucumber about ⅛" thick (I use an English cucumber, fresh
- 1 lice lime about ⅛" thick, fresh
- 2 ounces lime juice freshly squeezed
- 2 ounces white rum
- 1 ounce orange liqueur such as Cointreau
- 1 ounce simple syrup use more or less, to taste
- 3 ounces club soda chilled
- mint cucumber slices, and lime slices - optional garnish, sprigs
Instructions
- To a tall glass, add mint leaves, cucumber slices, lime slice, lime juice, rum, and orange liqueur. Muddle everything together, crushing the mint, cucumber, and lime to release their flavor.
- Add ice to the glass, then top with club soda. Give the drink a quick stir to combine.
- Garnish with lime and/or cucumber slices. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Make it spicy: If you like drinks with a kick, add 1 or more slices of fresh jalapeno to the glass in the first step. Muddle with the other ingredients and proceed with the rest of the instructions.
- Don't like rum? This drink is very good with gin! Vodka is another good choice.
- Make a pitcher: Here's what you'll need to make a pitcher of cucumber mojito mix, enough for 6 drinks:
- Muddle the ingredients in a pitcher and keep in the fridge until ready to use. To serve, pour mixture into 6 tall ice-filled glasses and top with 3 ounces of club soda each.
- 40 large fresh mint leaves
- 24 slices fresh cucumber, about ⅛" thick
- 6 slices fresh lime, about ⅛" thick
- 12 ounces of freshly squeezed lime juice
- 12 ounces white rum
- 6 ounces orange liqueur, such as Cointreau
- 6 ounces simple syrup (use more or less, to taste)
