Raspberry Mood Mojito (alcoholic), step-by-step recipe with photos from author Svetlana Gorbunenko, 209 kcal
If an alcoholic mojito isn't right for you because you don't drink alcoholic beverages, prepare it without rum, replacing it with, for example, freshly squeezed orange juice or orange syrup.
- Carbonated water
- Rum
- Raspberry
- Fresh mint
- Lime
- Cane sugar
- Crushed ice
- Prepare wide glasses. Divide cane sugar evenly among them. If you don't have it, use regular white sugar, but feel free to test the suggested version in the recipe. Cane sugar imparts a more subtle caramel flavor to the mojito.
- Wash the lime and cut it in half. Squeeze the juice from each half into a glass over the sugar. Then slice the remaining peel, distribute it among the glasses, and crush it lightly with a wooden pestle.
- Wash the mint, pick off the leaves, and tear them. Divide them among glasses. Mash everything together with a lime masher to release the juice (this will give the mojito its distinctive flavor and aroma).
- Peel the raspberries and divide them among the glasses. Mash the berries with a potato masher and lightly mix the ingredients. Add ice cubes (the glasses should be filled almost to the top).
- Pour in the rum and stir gently. Top the glasses with chilled mineral water. Garnish the mojito as desired. Serve with wide straws.
Remove raspberries from the freezer, let them sit at room temperature for about five minutes, and then use as directed. In this case, you can reduce the amount of ice.
