Recipe Notes

  • As written, this recipe yields a single mojito. To serve a group, use the servings calculator at the top of the recipe card to increase the ingredients amounts as needed.
  • Simple Syrup Alternatives: Make your own (see below) or stir ½ ounce honey into ½ ounce hot water, whisking until very smooth.
  • Make it Lower Carb: Make your own simple syrup out of a powdered erythritol or allulose. 
 

Make Your Own Simple Syrup

  1. Put equal parts sugar (or powdered erythritol, or allulose) and water into heatproof glass container.
  2. Microwave on high just until mixture barely starts to boil, usually around 1 minute or so. It’s fine if it boils for a few moments.
  3. Remove from microwave and stir to dissolve sugar.
