Classic Tequila Mojito

The national drink of Cuba, the Mojito has a long history of association with classic celebrities like Ernest Hemingway, Johnny Depp, and the James Bond franchise. The most popular global cocktail in 2013, we've taken the classic mojito and added tequila for a Mexican finish.

CLASSIC TEQUILA MOJITO

Ingredients

  • 2 oz. (60ml) PaQuí Silvera Tequila (instead of the traditional Rum)
  • .5 oz. (15ml) Simple Syrup or a Teaspoon of Sugar
  • Club Soda
  • 5-7 Fresh Mint Leaves
  • 3-5 Sliced Lime Wedges

Preparation

  1. Muddle mint leaves and lime wedges in the bottom of a cocktail shaker.
  2. Add in tequila, sugar, and ice. Shake well.
  3. Strain into glass and top with a splash of club soda.
  4. Drink and be happy.

Bar Tender Tip

Sugar is optional. When muddling, imagine gently suggesting the oil out of the mint and lime NOT crushing and bruising the herb and fruit. You will notice the difference.
