Let’s change things up!
Things You Will Need:
- A tall glass
- A muddler or a wooden spoon (to muddle the mint)
- A spoon for stirring
What You Will Need:
- ( ) 1 ounce of white rum
- ( ) 1 ounce of freshly prepared espresso (cooled) or strong coffee
- ( ) 1/2 ounce of simple syrup (or more or less to taste)
- ( ) 1/2 lime
- ( ) 6 to 8 fresh mint leaves
- ( ) Cubes of ice
- ( ) Sparkling water or club soda
- ( ) Mint sprig for decoration
- ( ) Lime wedge for decoration
How to Make a Mojito with Iced Coffee:
- Crush the mint and lime together.
Put 6–8 fresh mint leaves, 2–3 lime wedges, and 1/2 oz of simple syrup in a large glass. To get the mint oils and lime juice out, gently mix them together.
- Add coffee and rum, then fill with ice.
Put ice cubes in the glass until it’s almost full. Add 1 oz of white rum and 1 oz of espresso (or strong coffee) that has cooled down. Mix by gently stirring. - Add sparkling water on top
Pour sparkling water or club soda over the ice, but leave some space at the top. - Add a garnish and serve
Add a sprig of mint and a lime slice to the rim as a garnish. Enjoy with a straw!
Tips from the pros:
- Use fresh mint to get the greatest taste—the leaves are what make the mojito taste like a mojito!
- Make the coffee ahead of time so it has time to cool. This won’t work with hot coffee!
- You can change the sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup, depending on what you want.
- To save time when mixing the drink, brew your coffee ahead of time and keep it in the fridge.
Changes and substitutions:
- No rum? You can leave it out for a non-alcoholic version or switch it out for vodka.
- No dairy? For a creamy twist, add some almond or coconut milk.
- Do you want it sweeter? Instead of plain syrup, use a drizzle of caramel or vanilla syrup.
Storage and leftovers:
This drink tastes best when it’s fresh, so consume it right away. Put any extra coffee in the fridge and use it later.
