Spicy Mojito

If you’re a fan of spicy drinks, then you’ll love the Spicy Mojito! This refreshing cocktail is a twist on the classic mojito, with the addition of spicy chile liqueur alongside mint, white rum, lime juice, simple syrup, and tonic water.

How to Make a Spicy Mojito

1. Add the white rum, lime juice, simple syrup, chile liqueur, and mint leaves to a cocktail shaker.
2. Gently muddle the mint to release its oils without tearing the leaves.
3. Add ice and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until thoroughly chilled.
4. Double strain evenly between two glasses filled with fresh ice.
5. Top each glass with 4 oz soda water and gently stir to combine.
6. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.

Tips for Making the Best Spicy Mojito

• Adjust the heat: The chile liqueur adds a subtle kick. Reduce to ½ oz total for a milder cocktail.
• Don’t over-muddle: Gently press the mint to release its aromatic oils without introducing bitter, grassy flavors.
• To make sure your drink stays cold, pre-chill your glasses in the freezer before adding your spicy mojito.
• Use fresh squeezed lime juice for the best results, none of that bottled stuff.
