This Mojito Espresso is a perfectly balanced, mildly sweet and creamy cocktail that is super refreshing with a smooth mint finish. With a vegan option.
Add the mint leaves and sugar (or agave) to a cocktail shaker and muddle them until they are broken up – about 10 seconds.
5 mint leaves, 2 teaspoons quick dissolve sugar
Next add the espresso, half-and-half, and rum. Stir to combine.
2 shots (6 tablespoons) espresso, ½ shot (1 1/2 tablespoons) half-and-half, 1 shot (3 tablespoons) white rum
Fill the shaker with ice and stir until the drink is fully chilled – about 15 seconds.
Fill a glass with ice and strain the cocktail into the glass (you don’t want to drink any muddled mint). Garnish with additional mint leaves and enjoy.
