Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and I am sharing my all-time favorite mojito recipe! When it comes to cocktail recipes I am a pretty simple girl. I definitely gravitate towards easy to make, less sugary cocktails with few ingredients. Now, I am not a big drinker, but when I do have a cocktail, I want it to be the best! I want it to have the highest quality liquor, freshest ingredients and amazing taste – like todays mojito recipe! I will be sharing virgin recipe for kids and moms to be or anyone that just loves a delicious refreshing drink without alcohol. This mojito recipe is incredibly refreshing AND simple to make. But one of my favorite things about this drink? It is not a super sweet or sugar drinks that leaves you feeling lethargic after.
A classic mojito is made from 5 simple ingredients – white rum, sugar, lime juice, mint leaves and club soda. Like I said before, I don’t like my drinks overly sweet, so I swap honey for the sugar. Best mojito needs white or light rums to get the subtle flavor and we can’t forget fresh mint and limes!

Add the mint leaves, honey, and lime juice in a cocktail shaker. Use a muddler to gently muddle the link leaves, but don’t muddle too much as you don’t want to break the leaves up. Add 1 cup of ice. Cover the cocktail shaker and shake for 15 seconds until chilled and strain into a tall glass with filled ice. Top it with sprite as well as extra mint or lime wedges for garnish, if desired.
