Champagne Mojito – How To Mix
To make Champagne Mojito, first take few mint leaves on the palm of your hand and clap to bruise them.
This will ensure that when you muddle them, it will release mint extract quite easily into the cocktail.
Now, put these mint leaves into the cocktail glass and press gently using a muddler, creating more cracks and bruises.
Mint has a strong aroma and as you take sip of cocktail, the fresh mint aroma makes the cocktail more likable.
Squeeze lime to get some fresh lime juice. Add, Bacardi Carta Blanca (White Rum), Lime Juice and Sugar Syrup and fill half glass with crushed ice.
To crush ice you can use a blender/grinder or simply take ice in a cloth, wrap it up and either hit it with a rolling pin or hit the cloth over a hard surface 2 – 3 times. That should be enough to give you crushed ice.
Finally, pour over some Champagne and stir it well. Top up more ice if required.
Your Champagne Mojito is ready to be served.
Recommendation
- While preparing the cocktail either you can take fresh lime juice or once you dice it into 4 parts, you can put these in the glass along with mint leaves and crush it with muddler. This will bring in the essential oils from lime into the Cocktail. Later you can remove crushed lime and mix the spirits.
- It is better to bruise mint leaves before putting it in the cocktail as this lets releases of oils and gives better flavour.
- To experiment you can also use Prosecco or other Sparkling wine in place of Champagne.
- You can use Sugar Syrup available in super markets or can prepare the same at home by boiling equal parts of water and caster sugar to create the syrup, which should then be refrigerated to be used at later point in time. If you are preparing Sugar Syrup at home, this should be done well in advance.
