Mixed Drinks: Mojito

Video Transcript

"Now I'm going to show you how to make a Mojito. This is a really popular drink, especially in the summers. I'm going to make it in a pint glass, but you can also make it in a rock's glass or any other type of glass that your customer wants. So first, I'm going to fill it up, just a little bit, with ice. Now, the point of this, is because we're going to be muddling up a couple ingredients. So, we're going to add some mint leaves. And you're probably going to want to pick off, maybe four or five, even six bits of lime, of bits of mint. And then, we're going to add a dash of lime juice. And, we're going to take our bar spoon, or if you have a muddler, you can use a muddler. But, we don't have a muddler, so we're going to use the end of the bar spoon and we're just going to mix this around. And as you can see, I'm just trying to press the lime at the bottom of the glass, so that way, or the mint, at the bottom of the glass, so that way the flavors will come out. OK. Next, we're going to fill the glass the rest of the way with ice. Now we're going to add our ingredients. The ingredients for this drink is going to be about 2 ounces of rum, of a light rum. OK. And now we're going to fill the drink the rest of the way up, with soda. And, the garnish for this drink is typically, either a lime, or in addition to a lime, you can add a sprig of mint. And, that is how you make a Mojito."
