How to make Mojito at Home

 Today I will share with you the way, how I prepare Mojito at my home. Let me say, that it's one of my favorite drink during hot summer season in India, and even my husband like it a lot and use to drink it every day.
 Original Mojito is a traditional Cuban cocktail,  which consist five ingredients: white rum, sugar, lime juice, soda water and mint. But by the time the recipe has been changed and now most of the restaurant (specially in India ) offers  Mojito mocktail  (non- alcoholic drink), which we are going to prepare now.
 For that we need :

1.  1 cup of soda water
2.  2 spoons of sugar (it can be sugar syrup)
3. 2-3 cube of ice (it's better to use crushed ice)
4. 2 lime 
5. mint

First we are going to cut half of the mint and put it in some bowl.

After the mint is in bowl we add there 2 spoon of sugar ( or sugar syrup ) and 1/2 part of squeezed lime juice.

Then we have to gently mash the mixture. The mint leaves should be only bruised to release the essential oil.

When the process is done, we cut another part of the lime in to four pieces and add it with mixture in to class.

Then we add soda water and ice (its better to use crushed ice).

We can use lime wedges and mint leaves to garnish the glass.
