    🤔 What Is A Vodka Mojito

    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!

    🍹 Ingredients

    • Mint Leaf - This is a must for the mojito!
    • Lime - 4 quarters, one quarter halved for garnish
    • Simple Syrup - If you do not have simple syrup see my notes section.
    • Vodka - Try Absolut, Grey Goose, Smirnoff or Ketel One Citroen vodka
    • Soda Water - Club soda or sparkling water will do. You can substitute 7-UP or Sprite.

    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!

    🍸 Instructions

    A vodka mojito is an incredibly easy cocktail to make, no shakers or strainers necessary!

    1. Start off with a high ball glass, slap and put your mint leaves, limes and simple syrup in the glass.
    2. Muddle the base ingredients together, gently, but firmly enough to release the mint oil and lime juice.
    3. Once muddled, fill your glass with ice.
    4. Next, pour the soda water, then add the vodka into your glass and give it a stir.
    5. Finish with a garnish of the reserved lime slices and/or mint leaves and enjoy!

    🥂 Cocktail Tips & Variations

    • 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.
    • Slap the mint leaves in your hand to get an enhanced flavor.
    • Add the club soda first, this will evenly distribute the soda throughout.

    What If I Don't Have Simple Syrup?

    You can substitute simple syrup in a mojito with:

    • Honey - 2 parts honey 1 part warm water, stirred.
    • Agave Syrup - Use half as much agave syrup as the recipe calls for.
    • Maple Syrup - Equal amounts (1 to 1 ratio).

    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!
