One of the most beloved and popular summer cocktails is the mojito. Originating in Cuba, this citrusy and minty beverage is a great choice for warm days at the beach or in the yard.

Mojitos are a complex blend of flavors, but they’re actually easy to make at home! Here’s your guide to making a perfect mojito.

Ingredients

  • 4 parts club soda
  • 2 parts white rum
  • 1 part lime juice
  • Mint leaves
  • Lime wedges
  • White sugar
  • Ice

Instructions

Start off by taking a highball glass and placing some mint leaves and a lime wedge into the glass. Use a muddler to smash them together.

Then add about 2 tablespoons of white sugar and another lime slice or two. Use the muddler again to combine the ingredients.

Now, add club soda, white rum, and lime juice and stir vigorously. You’ll want to stir strongly so that the sugar dissolves and the flavors combine together.

You’ll know that your mojito is good and mixed together if you see little pieces of mint leaves and lime pulp floating around in your glass. One of the keys to making a great mojito is to ensure that you’ve found the perfect harmony between lime, mint, sugar, and alcohol.

Add ice and enjoy your mojito! Cheers!

How many times have you hosted cocktail hour and been so stressed about having a signature cocktail, while also finding the time to make something for everyone to munch on?

Put your fears aside because now you have the ultimate recipe that ticks both boxes. This spin on a Bloody Mary is the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy, and the best part is it’s a lot healthier and tastier than buying store-bought Bloody Mary mix. All you need is a strainer and a blender and you can make this amazing duo!

Recipe

In a blender, put in some cherry tomatoes, fresh pineapple, a little bit of sauce from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, cilantro, lime juice, agave nectar, and some salt.

If you want to beef it up a little because you have a big crowd to feed, you can also add in some other types of tomatoes or tomato juice.

Then, blend it until it’s smooth, and strain the liquid through a mesh sieve into a pitcher.

With the pulp that’s left over, put it into a bowl and use it as a salsa, which is essentially what you have made.

To the juice, add in vodka and make your regular Bloody Mary mix!

When you think of cocktails, you don’t necessarily think of smokey flavors. But drinking a smokey drink is such a nice departure from regular sweet drinks.

This cocktail utilizes two different sources of smokiness, and the end result is a vibrantly orange drink that will definitely excite you palate.

Recipe

  1. First, rim your glasses by swiping a lip around the rims and dipping it into a combination of 2 teaspoons of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika.
  2. For the cocktail, start by mixing 1 part agave nectar or honey into 1 part hot water to dissolve it slightly.
  3. Add this syrup to a cocktail shaker along with 1 ounce of orange juice, 1/2 an ounce of carrot juice, and 2 ounces of mezcal. If that’s too smokey for you, add just 1 ounce and do 1 ounce of tequila.
  4. Also, if you wanted to make a bigger batch of this cocktail, multiply the recipe quantities and instead of pouring it into a cocktail shaker, pour everything into a bowl and stir with ice in it. Put a mesh strainer over a pitcher and pour the contents in so the ice doesn’t get in and dissolve the flavor.
  5. Drop in ice cubes and shake everything together well for about 10 seconds.
  6. Pour it into the rimmed glasses and enjoy responsibly!
