Vodka Mojito Cocktail Recipe
This vodka twist to the classic gold or light rum-based mojito is a delightful cocktail! It's one of my absolut ( pun intended! ) favorites for Cinco De Mayo, right up there a great Pina Colada!
One of the keys to a great cocktail is to use a good liquor. That's no exception in the case of my vodka mojito.
I like Absolut, Grey Goose, Smirnoff, or Ketel One Citroen vodka for my mojitos. If I'm feeling swanky, I would use Belvedere, a luxury vodka from Poland. Yumm!
How To Make A Vodka Mojito
A vodka mojito is an incredibly easy cocktail to make, no shakers or strainers necessary! Start off with a high ball glass, and put your mint leaves, limes and simple syrup in the glass.
Muddle the base ingredients together, gently, but firmly enough to release the mint oil and lime juice. Once muddled, fill your glass with ice.
Pour the vodka into your glass and give it a stir before topping off your drink with soda water. Finish with a garnish of the reserved lime slices and/or mint leaves and enjoy!
What Can I Use If I Don't Have A Muddler?
If you don't have a muddler for making cocktails, use a heavy handled wooden utensil. A large wooden spoon or the handle end of a meat tenderizer works quite nicely!
