What You’ll Need for the Perfect Frozen Mint Mojito
This frozen twist on the traditional mojito takes everything you love about the classic—mint, lime, rum—and kicks it up a notch with an icy, blended texture. Here’s what you need:
- 2 oz white rum
- 1 oz lime juice (freshly squeezed for best results)
- 0.75 oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 2 cups of ice
- 8 fresh mint leaves
- Optional sugar rim
- Optional garnish: lime wedge + mint sprig
You can also enhance the glass with a sugar rim by rubbing a lime wedge along the edge and dipping it in sugar. It adds a touch of elegance and sweetness that perfectly balances the lime.

Tips to Perfect Your Frozen Mojito
- Use fresh mint only. Dried mint won’t give the same aromatic burst.
- Crushed ice blends better and gives a smoother consistency.
- White rum keeps the color bright and flavor light.
- Thermomix users: Use speed 10 for 20–30 seconds for the perfect blend.
