Instructions:
- Muddle the Mint and Apple:
In a glass, add the mint leaves, apple slices, and sugar (or simple syrup).Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently muddle the ingredients. This releases the flavors of the mint and apple.
- Add Lime Juice:
Squeeze the juice of one lime into the glass. This adds a tangy flavor to your mojito.
- Add Rum:
Pour in the white rum. Adjust the quantity to your taste preference.
- Mix and Add Ice:
Stir the mixture to combine all the flavors. Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill the drink.
- Top with Sparkling Water:
Top off the glass with sparkling water or club soda. This adds fizziness and dilutes the drink to the perfect consistency.
- Garnish and Serve:
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a few apple slices for an attractive presentation. Give the drink a gentle stir before serving to mix everything well.
Tips:
- Apple Varieties: You can use different apple varieties depending on your preference. Green apples add a tart flavor, while red apples can add a sweeter note.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can add more sugar or simple syrup.
- Alcohol-Free Version: To make a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum and add extra sparkling water or a splash of apple juice.
Enjoy your homemade apple mojito! It’s perfect for a refreshing drink on a warm day or as a delightful cocktail for your gatherings.
