Ingredients
- 2 oz tequila silver or blanco
- 1 lime (approx. 3/4 ounce) quartered
- 3/4 oz simple syrup if you like that sort of thing
- 1 oz Club Soda
- 6-8 fresh mint leaves
- Lime wedge for garnish
Instructions
- In a tall glass, muddle mint leaves, 3 lime pieces and simple syrup.
- Add a cup of ice, tequila and top with club soda.
- Stir gently.
- Garnish your Tequila Mojito with lime wedge.
Notes
- Don't have a muddler? Use the rounded end of an ice cream scooper! It works really well.
- For a slightly different flavor you can use a different type of tequila like a reposado or anejo.
- Don't want your Tequila Mojito overly fizzy? Use sparkling water instead.
- To make a larger batch of this cocktail you may want to make a mint simple syrup and pre-squeeze lime juice instead of muddling.
- If you're worried about the Tequila Mojito being too sweet, you can cut down on the amount of simple syrup. Or try using an ounce of Triple Sec instead.
- 3 great tequila brands to use are Patron, Casamigos or Santo.
