This spooky-fun cocktail is perfect for any gathering when you want a touch of magic in your glass—without spending hours in the kitchen. With vibrant mint, tangy lime, and a hint of enchanting color, this Witch’s Brew Mojito will delight (and perhaps spook) your friends in all the right ways.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces white rum
- 1/2 lime, cut into wedges
- 6 fresh mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon sugar (or simple syrup)
- A drop or two of green food coloring (optional, for an eerie hue)
- Club soda or sparkling water to top
- Crushed ice
- Black salt or sugar for rimming (optional)
Instructions
Begin by preparing your glass. If you’re going for extra spooky flair, moisten the rim with a lime wedge and dip it into black salt or sugar. Next, gently muddle the mint leaves, lime wedges, and sugar together in the base of the glass. Your goal is to release all those aromatic mint oils and juicy lime flavors without crushing everything into a pulp.
Pour in the white rum, followed by that subtle drop of green food coloring to achieve the infamous “witchy” glow. Stir well, then fill the glass almost to the top with crushed ice. Top off with club soda or sparkling water for a refreshing fizz. Give it a quick stir, garnish with an extra mint sprig, and watch your friends gasp at this enchanting creation!
This Witch’s Brew Mojito offers a whimsical twist on the classic and is perfect for anyone craving a playful, stress-free cocktail. It can easily be adapted for a lighter version—try substituting diet soda or sparkling water and cutting back on sugar for a lower-calorie sip. For a non-alcoholic option, skip the rum entirely. However you brew it, the stunning color and bright flavors make every sip a spellbinding delight.
