How to Make Mojitos
Ingredients:
The juice and pulp of 10 limes
30 mint leaves
3/4 cup extra fine sugar
1 cup of rum
Ice
Club soda
Instructions:
In a pitcher, combine juice and pulp of 10 limes, 30 mint leaves, and 3/4 cup of extra fine sugar.
Traditionally, you use a muddle stick to to mash this together until mint is “bruised” so as to release the mint oil and the sugar has dissolved. I don’t own an actual muddle stick but a pestle from a mortar and pestle set, a wooden meat tenderizing mallet, or even a large wooden spoon work in a pinch.
Add 1 cup of rum, lots of ice, and some club soda.
You can garnish with extra mint and lime slices if desired.
So refreshing on a hot sunny day!

Is a muddle stick the same thing as a mortar and pestle? OR as they say in Texas, a mocajete?

This site has an example of a muddle stick or muddler. It’s only like the stick portion of a mortar and pestle – it’s a special stick used for mojitos. http://urbandiner.ca/2008/12/18/gift-ideas-for-the-bartender-in-your-life/ I’m not going to go out and buy a special stick when I can just use things I have on hand but I suppose if someone was an avid mojito maker they might like an actual muddler.
