Mojito Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
Prepare the basil and lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh Thai basil leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently muddle the basil with the sugar to release the basil's essential oils.
Add lime
Cut the fresh lime into wedges. Squeeze the lime wedges into the glass, adding them along with the muddled basil and sugar. Muddle the mixture gently again to combine the flavors.
Add rum
Pour the white rum into the glass with the muddled basil and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
Add ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
Garnish and serve
Garnish your Thai Basil Mojito with a few additional Thai basil leaves or a lime wedge if desired. Enjoy your refreshing drink!
