2 Minute Mojito

Whip up a mojito cocktail in just two minutes with this super speedy recipe!

2 minute mojito cocktail

So I’m lying on an empty beach on a remote Caribbean island. The waves are lapping on the shore, the sun is setting beyond the horizon and in my hand is a refreshing cool drink.

Ok ok… so this is all a bit of a fantasy. In reality I am at home, willing my fussy eater to at least try one bite of her dinner whilst dodging the food being thrown from the direction of the baby’s high chair!

But a girl can dream and what better way of creating a bit of holiday atmosphere at home than with a Caribbean Cocktail!

2 minute mojito ingredients

Mojitos have always been a favourite of mine. With just a handful of simple ingredients a mojito has to be one of the easiest cocktails to make.

The combination of soda water, mint and lime make it super refreshing and very easy (maybe a little too easy) to drink!

Although the recipe does contain sugar, you only get a hint of sweetness to the drink so it’s not overpowering like other cocktails.

I know some people might be put off making their own mojitos at home. Barmen make it look so professional with all the crushing of the mint and mixing of the lime and sugar.

But trust me…I have an easier (if somewhat lazier) way of doing it. In a blender!

It may not be traditional but it sure is a lot faster, especially if you are making batches of cocktails for a large group of people.

The only warning I would give you would be to use less mint than usual. Because the mint is blended you will get a lot more flavour than if it is just crushed.
