How to Make a Guava Pineapple Mojito

Begin by adding the fresh mint leaves and lime juice to a cocktail shaker. Gently muddle the mint leaves to release their oils and flavor into the lime juice.

Next, pour in the rum, guava syrup, and pineapple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well chilled.

Pour the entire contents of the shaker, including the ice and muddled mint leaves, into a cocktail glass. Add additional ice if desired.

Top with sparkling water and give the drink a gentle stir to combine.

Garnish with a fresh lime wheel and a sprig of mint before serving.

Tips for the Best Mojito

Fresh mint makes all the difference in this cocktail. Gently muddle the leaves rather than crushing them aggressively, which can release bitter flavors.

Freshly squeezed lime juice provides the brightest flavor and balances the sweetness of the syrups perfectly.

Use a good-quality white rum for a clean, crisp tropical taste that lets the fruit flavors shine.

For an extra refreshing presentation, chill your glass before preparing the cocktail.
