Mojito Margarita Ingredients

Here are the ingredients that make up this refreshing cocktail! For the full recipe including all measurements, scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

  • Mint leaves: Just like in the classic mojito, fresh mint leaves add a unique flavor and aroma when muddled.
  • Lime juice: Freshly squeezed is always best for cocktails.
  • Simple syrup: Adds just enough sweetness to the cocktail. I love making my own simple syrup for cocktails because it is so easy and there are no extra additives or preservatives.
  • Tequila: The star spirit of a classic margarita, always choose a tequila labeled 100% agave for best flavor.
  • Club soda: Use a freshly opened bottle for maximum bubbles and fizz.
  • Salt and lime wedge for garnish

Simple Syrup

This simple syrup is made with just two ingredients and is the best way to sweeten all of your favorite cocktails.
