About this recipe
Mojito-style cocktail Thermomix TM7 brings the Cuban bar experience straight into your kitchen. Searching for an easy cocktail recipe with your all-in-one kitchen machine? This refreshing drink is the answer for summer evenings, garden parties and festive celebrations. The secret lies in the texture: the TM7 crushes ice cubes into a fine, snow-like consistency that no wooden mallet can match, while the high-speed blades release the aromatic oils from fresh mint leaves and lime in seconds. Caster sugar dissolves completely into the tangy lime juice, creating a perfectly balanced sweet-sour base before rum and soda water add depth and sparkle. Whether you are preparing a single glass or a pitcher for guests, this quick party drink delivers professional results every time, with far less washing up than a traditional cocktail setup.
Preparation tips
- Roll the l firmly on the worktop before juicing to release the maximum amount of juice. Add the mint leaves gently bruised rather than shredded, so they release aroma without bitter notes from torn stems.
- For a pitcher version, prepare the lime, mint and sugar base in advance and keep it chilled. Add the rum, soda water and crushed ice only just before serving so the bubbles stay lively and fresh.
- Prefer a lighter drink? Reduce the rum by half and top up with extra soda water. A splash of elderflower cordial also works beautifully as a substitute for part of the caster sugar.
Recipe variations
- Alcohol-free mocktail: simply omit the white rum and replace it with extra soda water and a dash of lime cordial. The crushed ice, fresh mint and lime still deliver the full Mojito character, making it a kid-friendly party option.
- Festive berry twist: add a handful of frozen raspberries before crushing the ice for a pink, fruity variation. Garnish with a lime wheel and extra mint sprigs for an eye-catching Christmas or celebration cocktail.
