• Instructions
• Muddle the Raspberries and Mint:
• In a sturdy glass, add the fresh raspberries and mint leaves. Using a muddler, gently press down on the ingredients to release their juices and aromas. Be careful not to over-muddle, as you want to maintain some mint leaves' structure and flavor.
• Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup:
• Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup. The sweetness of the syrup balances the tartness of the raspberries and lime. Give it a gentle stir to combine the flavors.
• Mix with Rum:
• Add the white rum to the glass and stir again to incorporate it with the muddled mixture.
• Add Ice:
• Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the club soda.
• Top with Club Soda:
• Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This adds a refreshing fizz to the cocktail.
• Garnish and Serve:
• Garnish your Raspberry Mojito with a few whole raspberries and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
• Variations
• Berry Mojito: Substitute raspberries with other berries like strawberries or blackberries for a different twist.
• Non-Alcoholic Version: Replace the rum with extra club soda or a splash of sparkling water for a refreshing mocktail.
• Herbal Twist: Experiment with herbs like basil or thyme in addition to or instead of mint for a unique flavor.
