Enjoy this list of 24+ Mixology Cocktails to Try at Home! And if you can’t decide where to start, here is one of my all-time favorites (okay maybe I say that about a lot of cocktails, but this one holds a special place in my heart!), the Ginger Beer Mojito:
Mixology Cocktails To Try At Home, including Fiery Ginger Beer and White Rum Mojito
Equipment
- Cocktail Muddler (optional)
Ingredients
- ½ ounce lime juice (½ oz lime juice usually = juice from ½ a lime)
- 5 fresh mint leaves (+ more for garnish)
- ½ cup ice
- 3 ounces white rum
- 6.8 ounces ginger beer (6.8 oz usually = 1 can)
Instructions
- Cut your lime in half, squeezing the juice from one half into a highball glass, and setting aside the other half for garnish.
- Add about 5 mint leaves into the glass and muddle for about 30 seconds to release the flavor of the mint.
- Add ice, rum, and ginger beer and stir.
- Garnish with a lime wedge and more mint and serve ice cold!
Pro Tips
- It’s best not to use a shaker for this cocktail. You won’t want to lose the crisp carbonation of the gingerbeer.
- I like to really taste the rum, so I add two full jiggers worth of it to each drink, but if you want the rum to be less prevalent, start with one. You can always add more!
- 1 fluid ounce = 2 tablespoons
