How to Make a Festive Mojito

Follow these simple steps to whip up a perfectly chilled and beautiful drink.

1. Prepare your fruit. Before you begin, seed half of a large pomegranate and reserve the seeds in a container.
2. Shake it up. In a shaker filled with ice, combine the El Guapo™ Mojito Mixer, white rum, and a handful of the reserved pomegranate seeds.
3. Chill until perfect. Shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds, or until the shaker feels well-chilled. This will properly mix and chill the drink without over-diluting it.
4. Strain and Garnish. Strain the mixture into a Collins glass. Garnish the top with more fresh pomegranate seeds, a few fresh mint sprigs, and a couple of lime wedges before serving immediately. Cheers!
