Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh mint leaves, gently washed
  • 6 to 8 medium-sized limes, sliced into wedges
  • 1 cup simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, heated until dissolved and cooled)
  • 2 liters soda water or sparkling water, chilled
  • Ice cubes, plenty
  • Optional fresh fruit: 1 cup sliced strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries
  • Optional cucumber slices
  • Optional fresh pineapple chunks
  • Extra mint sprigs and lime wheels for garnish
  • Tall glasses or mason jars for serving

Instructions

  1. Make the simple syrup by combining 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring until sugar dissolves completely. Let cool to room temperature (about 20 minutes).
  2. Wash and dry the mint leaves gently. Slice 6 to 8 limes into wedges. Slice optional fruits into bite-sized pieces if using.
  3. In a large pitcher, add half the mint leaves and half the lime wedges. Gently muddle using a muddler or wooden spoon to release oils and juice without pulverizing.
  4. Add ยฝ cup of the simple syrup and juice of 3 additional limes (about ยผ cup or 60 ml) to the pitcher. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Refrigerate the mojito base for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
  6. Set up the mojito bar by arranging the chilled mojito base pitcher alongside soda water, ice cubes, extra mint sprigs, lime wedges, optional fruits, glassware, and muddlers or spoons.
  7. To assemble individual mojitos, fill each glass with 6-8 ice cubes, add 2-3 tablespoons of mojito base, top with about 4 oz (120 ml) soda water, and garnish with mint and lime. Guests can muddle extra mint or add fruit for personal twists.
  8. Serve immediately to keep soda water fizzy and mint fresh.

Notes

Press mint and lime gently to avoid bitterness. Use fresh limes for best flavor. Keep soda water chilled and add just before serving to maintain fizz. Simple syrup can be swapped with honey, agave, or natural sweeteners like stevia. Mojito base can be prepared up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerated without soda water.
