Zesty Limoncello Mojito (Print version)

A fresh, fizzy limoncello mojito made with mint, lime, white rum, and club soda in about 5 minutes.

# Ingredients:

For one cocktail

01 - 8 fresh mint leaves, plus 1 sprig for garnish
02 - 3/4 oz (22 ml) fresh lime juice
03 - 1/4 oz (7 ml) simple syrup, plus more to taste
04 - 1 1/2 oz (45 ml) white rum
05 - 1 oz (30 ml) limoncello
06 - Ice cubes
07 - 2-3 oz (60-90 ml) chilled club soda
08 - 1 lime wheel, for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Add the mint leaves, lime juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker. Press gently with a muddler just until the mint smells fragrant.
02 - Pour in the white rum and limoncello, then add a handful of ice.
03 - Seal the shaker and shake for 10-15 seconds, until the outside feels very cold.
04 - Fill a tall glass with fresh ice. Strain the cocktail into the glass to catch torn mint pieces.
05 - Pour in chilled club soda and stir gently once or twice, just enough to combine.
06 - Add a lime wheel and a fresh mint sprig. Serve right away while the drink is fizzy.

# Good to know:

01 - Best served immediately after adding club soda.
02 - For a less sweet drink, start without simple syrup and adjust after tasting.
03 - Drink responsibly. This cocktail contains alcohol.
