When gathering your ingredients, it’s recommended you choose a sweet variety of lime, since you’re using natural fruit juice to flavor the mojito. Choose a key lime as well as sparkling water that’s lime or lemon-lime flavored. Don’t forget fresh mint, which is mandatory for a mojito!
Step 2
You’ll need to muddle a small wedge of lime and 2-3 mint leaves in the bottom of each glass you are preparing. It’s best to use a pestle from a mortar and pestle set, but you can get creative with what type of kitchen tools you can use. Use the back of a silver spoon or the round base of a kitchen utensil to muddle the lime and mint in the glass.
Step 3
Fill your glass with ice over the lime and mint, then pour sparkling water into the glass until it’s full. Add 5-7 drops of liquid stevia to your drink, and use a long spoon to briefly stir the drink. You can garnish with extra lime wedges and mint leaves.
