45 ml rum
4 ice cubes

Mojito punch

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Making a Mojito Batch

Prepare all the ingredients for the mojito with a copy of the recipe. Your guests will have fun preparing their own mojito throughout the evening.

1 Line all the mojito ingredients on the table in a line from left to right. You will need sugar, lime juice, mint leaves, soda, rum, and ice.
2 Prepare your tools. Arrange teaspoons for sugar, lime juicers (unless you squeeze the juice beforehand), mint mortars, 30 ml measuring glasses for water and rum, and a spoon or ice tongs.
3 Set out the glasses. You can display old-fashioned glasses or any other cylindrical shape.
4 Arrange additional fruits. You can offer a platter of strawberries that people can crush with mint to make a strawberry mojito. You can also lay out mango or watermelon puree and let guests create new variations of the traditional mojito. Print out your mojito recipe on a large piece of paper.
5 Laminate the recipe sheet or place in an airtight bag and place on the counter with the mojito ingredients.
6 Laminate the paper or place it inside a plastic sleeve and display it on your mojito table.
7 Print out additional mojito recipes if guests would like to add other fruits to the cocktail. For example, let guests know how much to knead strawberries if they want to make a strawberry mojito.
8 Replenish the supply of ingredients on the table. During the party, you will need to check that you have all the ingredients for the cocktail. Make sure you buy enough ingredients before the party. Count on one mojito per guest for every hour of the party and determine the amount of ingredients needed.

Method 2 of 3: Making Mojito Punch

This easy punch is sure to satisfy your guests. This punch contains margarita, white rum and fresh mint puree.

1 Place the mint, margarita, and 1 cup of soda in a blender.
2 Make mashed potatoes.
3 Rub the puree through a sieve into a punch bowl.
4 Add leftover soda and rum to the punch bowl.
5 Add limes and fresh mint leaves.
6 Add 4 cups of ice to a bowl.
7 Fill iced punch glasses.
8 Using a scoop, pour ½ cup mojito into each glass.

Method 3 of 3: Planning the rest of the party details

Food, decorations, invitations and music are a few additional details you should consider when planning your mojito party.

1 Decide on food.
- Decide on your food. Latin American cuisine is perfect for a mojito party. Serve tacos, quesadillas, or other finger foods.
- You can also create a pantry where guests can serve themselves.
- Plan 2-3 servings for each guest.
2 Decide on the style of your party.
- Select the room (s) in your home that will be available to guests.
- Arrange furniture so that guests can easily move around the house.
- Place trays on tables or waste bins in convenient locations for easier cleaning.
- If you want to install a steam blower, paper lanterns, or electric torches, then choose a design that suits your room.
3 Send out invitations 3 weeks before the day of the party.
- Choose paper invitations to send or for personal delivery.
- You can also send email invitations or create invitations via social media. Digital invitations make it much easier to get an answer.
4 Buy everything you need. Guests will need plates, plastic utensils, and napkins in addition to mojito glasses. You can also use real silverware and china if you like.
5 Find the right music. Create a playlist on your mp3 player or iPod, or use services like Spotify or Pandora.
6 Clean up the house.
- Hide all your personal papers and polish surfaces like countertops and table edges.
- Wash the bathroom thoroughly, as many guests will be entering during the party.

Tips

Make a party day checklist that includes all the tasks you have to do. It doesn't matter if it's buying ice or buying extra food, make sure you write down everything that needs to be done.
