Traditionally made with only lime, this Lemon Mojito’s combination of sweetness, citrus and mint complements this Cuban classic’s characteristic punch of rum. The addition of lemon brings a brighter citrus flavor that you’ll love.

Mojitos are the quintessential summertime drink, but I like making them all year round, especially for group get-togethers.
This recipe always reminds me of the Super Bowl. A couple of years ago, I made them for a small halftime-show/commercial-watching party at my friend’s apartment.
My friends still talk about these mojitos, so this pre-Super Bowl recipe seems like an ideal time to share it with you.
If you’re hosting or attending a Super Bowl party on Sunday, then it should be noted that a pitcher of these mojitos will pair well with the Perfect Guacamole recipe I posted earlier this week.

Lemon Mojitos
ingredients
instructions
- Add lime juice, lemon juice, mint leaves and simple syrup to a pitcher. For a stronger citrus taste, add some of the lemon and lime rinds as well.
- Using a muddle stick, mash the mint to release the mint oils and dissolve the syrup into the citrus juice.
- Add rum and a generous amount of ice. Top with club soda and serve.
- Garnish highball glasses with fresh mint sprigs and slices of lime. Add additional club soda to glasses if you’d prefer a lighter drink.
