What is the Champagne Mojito made of?

Like a regular mojito, this champagne mojito contains lime, mint and rum but instead of soda water, we substitute sparkling wine or champagne in this cocktail.

You can use any sparkling wine such as Prosecco or Cava instead of champagne depending on your preference and budget.

2 ounces white rum
1 oz fresh lime juice
1/2 ounce simple syrup or sugar
8 Mint leaves
Champagne or sparkling wine

As you can see, the main difference between a “regular” mojito and a champagne mojito is that you use champagne instead of soda water to finish the drink off.

What tools do I need to make a sparkling wine mojito?

You really don’t need much in order to make a mojito and this sparkling wine version is no exception.

You don’t need a cocktail shaker or a strainer which makes a change from most mixed drinks.

The only tool you’ll need to make this cocktail:

Cocktail Muddler

If you don’t have a muddler, you can get by with the wrong end of a wooden spoon but a muddler does make things much easier and they are pretty inexpensive.

How To Make The Champagne Mojito

Step 1: Muddle The ingredients

Muddle the rum, mint, lime and simple sugar in a glass using a muddler

Step 2: Add Ice

Add ice to the glass

Step 3: Top with Champagne

Slowly fill your glass with Champagne.

I use high ball glasses for my Champagne mojitos but you can also use tumblers.

Step 4: Stir and garnish

Add a slice of lime or some mint leaves for garnish if desired.

I added frozen cranberries to my drink to make it perfect for the holidays.
