What is the Mojito cocktail recipe?

Friends who like to play League of Legends know that the catchphrase of the top lane overlord Captain is "a bowl of rum". I believe many friends in life have also tasted rum. But even so, no one has tasted all the types of rum. There are really so many types. Mojito is one of them, so what is its brewing recipe? If you also love making cocktails in life, you might as well learn it.

origin

The Mojito was born in the romantic old days of Cuban revolution, or even earlier. The exact origin of the Mojito is unknown, but we believe it originated from Draque, which is said to be a pirate drink. The drink was invented by English pirate Sir Francis Drake (called "the Dragon" by the Spanish). Drake did go to Cuba. But by traditional standards for assessing the consequences of pirate looting and destruction, he didn't cause much damage there; perhaps he was too busy partying at the time. In 1830, the first allusion to the prototype of the Mojito formalized its Cuban origins. In Ramon de Paima's novel "One Piece", a character said: "Every morning at 11 o'clock I have a little Dragai to make me energetic." This not only explains the pirate origin of the drink, but also clearly shows that the Mojito is a morning drink. With the revival of cocktail culture, the increasing interest in using fresh ingredients, the rise of the Latin food trend and the popularity of Cuban music, the Mojito has gained widespread popularity in the United States. It appeared in a new look, with ingredients including squeezed lime, crushed ice and chopped mint. This new and improved version took the world by storm from the United States. By adding fruits other than lime juice, the Mojito has further evolved in the direction of refreshing taste.

formula

Ingredients:

30 ml fresh lime juice, 6-8 fresh mint leaves, 20 ml syrup, 35 ml white rum, 6-8 medium ice cubes, soda water

1 sprig of fresh mint (for garnish)

Utensils:

1 cocktail glass, pestle, long stirring spoon, 1 straw

Production process:

1. Put lime juice, mint leaves and syrup into a cup.

2. Use a pestle to squeeze the mint leaves slightly.

3. Add rum and then add ice cubes until the cup is 80% full.

4. Add a little soda water and stir it slightly with a long stirring spoon (from top to bottom).

5. Add mint branches as decoration and then insert the straw.

It can also be slightly changed: if you use sugar cane wine (Cachaca) instead of white rum, it becomes Monti's Mojito.

Note: Key limes are a smaller, greener cousin of the lemon that are a favorite among bartenders because of their juiciness. They are commonly found in fruit and vegetable stores, but are sometimes mislabeled as lemons.
