Ingredients

Lemongrass and Ginger Simple Syrup

  • 1 ½ tbsp sugar
  • 1 ½ tbsp water
  • ½ tsp fresh ginger grated
  • 2 ½ cm – 1 inch lemongrass bruised
  • 1 tsp lime juice

Mojito

  • 10 cm – 4 inch lemongrass bruised
  • ½ lime cut in wedges
  • 5 mint leaves better if you find yerba buena or spearmint
  • 3 tbsp Lemongrass and Ginger Simple Syrup
  • 45 ml – 1 ½ oz. white rum
  • 125 ml – ½ cup soda water
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Instructions

Lemongrass and Ginger Simple Syrup

  1. Put all the ingredients in a small pot and put it on the fire. Mix to dissolve the sugar, then put the fire off and let it cool down completely. Filter and keep aside.

Mojito

  1. Put the mint leaves and the lime wedges in a Mojito glass (or if your muddler does not fit the Mojito glass like mine, do this in a separate bowl). Crush the mint and lime together to release their juices.
  2. Fill the glass (or transfer to a Mojito glass and then fill it) with the ice cubes.
  3. Add the rum and fill the glass with the cold Lemongrass and Ginger Simple Syrup and soda water. Mix.
  4. Decorate with the lemongrass stick. Serve immediately and enjoy!
