What is a Mojito?

A mojito is a cocktail that traditionally consists of five ingredients; white rum, lime juice, club soda, carbonated mineral water or soda water, and mint. To sweeten a mojito you can use simple syrup or sugar. In this Pineapple Mojito recipe, we have changed things up a bit and added some Pineapple fruit that gives it an amazing and refreshing taste.

What does it mean to Muddle when making a Mojito?

When you are new to making cocktails many of the recipes call for muddling the drink and you might be wondering what it means to muddle a cocktail. Muddling is the technique of mashing the herbs and flavors together. Add the ingredients to the bottom of a cocktail shaker and using a cocktail muddler gently mash the ingredients gently 2 or 3 times to release the flavors.

If you do not have a cocktail shaker or a cocktail muddler you can use a glass and the back end of a wooden spoon.

How to Make a Virgin Mojito Cocktail

You can easily make this a Virgin drink by replacing the rum with any sparkling clear soda like Sprite. Any clear lemon-lime carbonated drink will work in place of the rum to keep it a virgin drink.

Fresh, Frozen or Canned Pineapple

I like using fresh pineapple but you can also use canned pineapple drained from the juices, or frozen. If you are using frozen pineapple I highly suggest letting it thaw before using it.

If you are using a fresh pineapple the best way to cut it is using this pineapple corer and slicer. It is so easy to use and makes cutting a fresh pineapple so easy!

How to Sweeten a Mojito

When you are sweetening a mojito you can use a simple syrup, powdered sugar or granulated white sugar.
