Apple Cider Mojito
Servings 1 drink
This Apple Cider Mojito recipe is my new favorite cocktail for fall! Spiced, vibrant, and slightly sweet, it has all the flavors of a classic rum mojito plus a hefty pour of apple cider.
Ingredients
- 8 fresh mint leaves plus more for garnish
- 2 lime wedges plus more for garnish
- 1 ounce lime juice
- ½ ounce simple syrup
- 1½ ounces white rum
- 3 ounces apple cider
- 2 ounces club soda
Instructions
- Add the mint and lime wedges to a tall glass and muddle.1
- Add in the lime juice, simple syrup, rum, and cider.
- Then fill the glass almost all the way full with crushed ice and use a bar spoon to mix.
- Top off the glass with club soda and serve with a straw and mint, apple, lime, and cinnamon garnishes.2
Notes
- Muddling means mashing up ingredients (usually fresh herbs, berries, or fruit) to release their flavor. Usually, it’s the first step in making a cocktail because the items are muddled in the bottom of the glass. You can use a muddling tool, but the handle of a wooden spoon works fine, too.
- Slap the mint you use for garnish between your hands to release some of the oils that you'll smell when you sip the drink, adding to the experience.
- Apple juice – In a pinch, this can be subbed for apple cider (but it’s not as good)!
- Dark rum – You can sub dark rum for white rum. It’ll deviate from the classic mojito flavor, but sweet, spiced rum pairs well with cider.
