What is in the watermelon mojito at Tropical Smoothie? ›

It's made of Watermelon (duh...), mint, and strawberries. I loved the light flavor of the watermelon backed up by the strawberry - very refreshing! The Avocolada was earthy and smooth, I liked that one too. What you need to know is that the Watermelon Mojito is only on the menu till August 20th!

White rum is usually a light-bodied variant with a soft, sweet taste. It's often used in light refreshing co*cktails, especially favorites, like the Mojito and Daiquiri.

But if you want to be extra safe, you can always give your mint a few light taps in your shaker with a muddler before shaking with the ice, but be careful not to over-muddle. The most common mistake in Mojito preparation is too much mudding which results in a bitter flavor.

White Rum: White rum, also known as light rum or silver rum, is a common choice for mojitos. It is generally lighter in flavor and has a cleaner, more neutral taste. White rum allows the fresh flavors of mint and lime to shine through, creating a bright and refreshing mojito.

Bacardi Superior White Rum

Superior is light, floral, and not overpoweringly sweet, allowing it to blend nicely with the fresh mint and tart lime components of this drink.

A Mojito is one of the classic co*cktails and is made with white rum, sugar, lime juice, mint leaves and soda which make them perfect for warm weather regions or seasons. You can make a mojito with rum, or you can swap out the rum with vodka. Both are light spirits and work well with all the other base ingredients.

Vodka: Any vodka works, I used Tito's, but you could even use tequila and make these into watermelon margaritas! While this drink calls for vodka, it's very versatile and virtually any liquor will work, white rum, tequila etc. Lime Juice: Lemon juice also works, but I love the combination of lime and watermelon!

Directions. Muddle watermelon chunks with the lime juice and sugar in a glass. Stir in mint leaves, then add white rum and ice. Top with ginger ale; garnish with more mint.

What is a Cuban mojito made of? ›

A mojito is a classic Cuban highball co*cktail served on the rocks (over ice) made of white rum, real cane sugar, lime juice, club soda, and fresh mint. All the flavors complement the rum so well.

Always use white rum for mojitos. Avoid spiced rums, because these will take away from the freshness of the mint and lime.

Q Club Soda

Q's tiny, prickly bubbles leave your tongue tingling. It has a really nice subtle flavor that's rounded rather than acidic. It's easy to gulp down and won't leave you burping all night long. For me, this is the best club soda for co*cktails of all sorts, including the best club soda for Mojito making.

Though recipes vary, most call for muddling mint. According to Nomad Bar Director Pietro Collina, however, you actually shouldn't muddle those leaves. Muddling will create a bitter taste, he says. All you have to do is remove the leaves from the stem, and throw them into the shaker with the rest of the ingredients.

Made with fresh watermelon, tart lime juice, and crisp fresh mint you will not be able to get enough of this yummy drink. It is also non-alcoholic which makes it a great option for anyone avoiding alcohol as well as the kids in your life.
