Note
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh mint leaves, limes, and a good quality white rum for the best flavor.
- Muddle the mint gently: Be sure not to over-muddle the mint leaves to avoid releasing a bitter taste. Lightly press and twist to release the oils and aroma.
- Measure your ingredients accurately: Precise measurements will help ensure a balanced and delicious cocktail.
- Use a simple syrup: Make your own simple syrup by dissolving equal parts sugar and water. This will help sweeten the cocktail evenly.
- Choose the right glassware: Serve your French Mojito in a tall glass, like a Collins or highball glass, to showcase its vibrant colors and layers.
- Add crushed ice: Filling the glass with crushed ice will keep your cocktail nicely chilled and prevent watering down too quickly.
- Garnish with a lime wheel and mint sprig: The final touches of a lime wheel and fresh mint sprig will add an elegant and aromatic touch to your French Mojito.
- Enjoy responsibly: Remember to drink responsibly and savor your French Mojito in moderation.
