How to make the perfect Mojito

A classic mojito

We have been asking our staff what their favourite cocktails are and why.

We started with the creator of NJAC Event Bars, Josh who loves a mojito. He has shared his recipe for making the perfect mojito so you can make it at home.

1. Choose which glass you want to serve in (we suggest using a highball or tall glass)

2. Get 8 leaves of fresh mint and slap before adding them to your glass

3. Next squeeze 25 ml of fresh lime juice over the leaves

4. Add in 12.5 ml of sugar syrup now

5. Now for the best part, add in 50 ml of rum of choice (Josh recommends Havana 3 year old rum)

6. Once you've done this add in ice cubes to the top of your glass and stir incredibly well. The ice cubes should drop a little and there should be no sugar syrup at the bottom

7. Now fill your glass with crushed ice and top up with 50 ml of soda water

8. The final step is to add your straw and garnish with mint

This is how you can create the perfect mojito at home. If you make this at home, we would love to see how it turned out. Tag us in your photo's to show us how you did.
