The Thai Mojito or Thaijito is a nice and herbal cocktail with the subtle hint of lemongrass. We make this variant of the Mojito with ginger ale and lemongrass. I make this one non alcoholic, but added with rum it still tastes very good! Serve it salty banana crisps.
What do you need for a Thai Mojito?
Ginger ale (3 parts)
Lemongrass (sereh*)
Cane sugar (small bar spoon)
1 part = 30 ml
* you can get lemongrass (sereh) at most shops or any toko.
How do you make a Thai Mojito?
Cut the lemongrass in small rings, like you would cut a spring onion in the kitchen. Save the upper part for garnish. Muddle this together with the cane sugar in a separate glass. Add a little splash of water to the glass and stir it a little bit. Finestrain this into your mojito glass. Fill up the glass with crushed ice and give it a small stir. top of the glass with ginger ale and put in the lemongrass for garnish.
PS: If you want to try the alcoholic version, just add 1 part of dark rum to the mix.
