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.

  • 2 teaspoons quick dissolve sugar or agave
  • 2 shots (6 tablespoons) espresso chilled
  • ½ shot (1 1/2 tablespoons) half-and-half
  • 1 shot (3 tablespoons) white rum

Instructions

  • Add the mint leaves and sugar (or agave) to a cocktail shaker and muddle them until they are broken up – about 10 seconds.
