About
The Spiced Rum Mojito is a bold, warming twist on Cuba's most famous cocktail, replacing light rum with spiced rum to add layers of vanilla, cinnamon, and clove that transform the classic mint-lime-soda formula into something altogether more complex and exciting. The bright freshness of muddled mint and lime cuts through the rum's spice beautifully, and the club soda lifts everything with cooling carbonation. Where the classic Mojito is crisp and summery, the Spiced Rum Mojito adds depth and warmth while keeping every bit of that irresistible tropical refreshment.
Ingredients
2 oz Spiced Rum
1 oz Lime Juice
0.5 oz Simple Syrup
2 oz Club Soda
8 leaves Mint Leaves (fresh)
Instructions
- Place mint leaves in the bottom of a tall glass and add lime juice and simple syrup.
- Gently muddle the mint — press firmly enough to release the oils but not so hard that you shred the leaves.
- Fill the glass with crushed ice.
- Add spiced rum and stir briefly to combine.
- Top with club soda and stir gently once more.
- Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wheel.
