Mojito Learn how to make Mojitos with Jamie Oliver's Drinks Tube & Bacardi. Follow our step-by-step mojito recipe for a refreshing summer cocktail. A muddler (or rolling pin) A spoon A long glass 2 parts Bacardi Carta Blanca ½ fresh lime 12 fresh mint leaves 2 heaped bar spoons of caster sugar Dash of soda water Cubed ice Crushed ice To Garnish: Sprig of Fresh Mint 1. Put the four lime wedges into a glass, then add the sugar and muddle (squish everything together) to release the lime juice 2. Put the mint leaves on one hand and clap.

Use a muddler, bar spoon (or even a rolling pin) to gently push the mint down into the lime juice 3. Half fill the glass with crushed ice and pour in the Bacardi Carta Blanca.
