Gumdrops Mint Mojito Recipe

Ingredients: Gumdrops Mint Mojito!

• 60 mL Peppermint Gum Gin
• 15 mL lime juice
• 10 mL sugar syrup
• Lime wedges
• Soda water
• Mint leaves, to garnish

Instructions:

1. Muddle the Ingredients: Begin by muddling fresh mint leaves, lime juice, lime wedges, and sugar syrup in a highball glass. The goal here is to bruise the mint leaves gently to release their essential oils without tearing them into small pieces, which can create an unpleasant texture in the drink.
2. Add the Gin: Pour in 60 mL of Peppermint Gum Gin over the muddled mixture. This gin will provide a unique flavor profile that complements the mint and lime.
3. Fill with Ice: Add ice cubes to fill the glass, ensuring that it is well-chilled for optimal refreshment.
4. Top with Soda Water: Pour soda water over the ice and other ingredients until the glass is full. This adds effervescence and balances out the sweetness of the syrup and gin.
5. Garnish: Finally, garnish your drink with additional mint leaves for an aromatic touch and a few lime wedges for visual appeal.
6. Serve: Enjoy your refreshing Gumdrops Mint Mojito!

Factors Important While Making a Mojito:

• Muddling Technique: Properly muddling mint is crucial for extracting its flavor without creating a mess of tiny leaf particles.
• Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh mint and freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
• Sweetness Balance: Adjust sweetness according to personal preference; simple syrup can be used instead of granulated sugar for smoother incorporation. Gumdrops Mint Mojito!
