How to prepare a sunny mojito cocktail

Step 1: Preparing the lime

Start your journey by cutting the juicy lime into eight equally sized pieces. Feel how the citrus-fresh scent of the lime invigorates your senses and heightens your anticipation of the cocktail you are about to enjoy.

Step 2: Unfolding the mint aromas

Now take the aromatic mint leaves from two stalks and place them in the Cataleya copper cup together with the brown sugar. Squeeze them gently with the muddler to release their essential oils and turn the sugar into a fragrant mint essence

.
Step 3: Add ice and rum

Fill the cup with ice cubes and pour the rum over it. Stir the whole thing once to mix the individual flavors and the iced metal of the copper cup provides a refreshing coolness that makes every sip a pleasure.

Step 4: Add soda and lemonade

Now it's time for the sparkling finish: pour soda and lemonade into the cup and experience how the tingling bubbles enhance the bouquet of aromas even further.

Step 5: Garnish and enjoy

Finally, garnish your delicious cocktail with a fresh mint stalk. Let the scent of the mint rise one last time and stir your mojito one last time to fully combine the flavors.

Imagine lifting the copper cup and feeling the coldness of the metal on your skin as the light dances on the shiny surface.

Put the cup to your lips and taste the first sip - a perfect balance of sweetness, freshness and sparkling fizz. It's a pleasure that will delight you and leave a lasting impression.

Cheers!

But why a copper cup? Copper is not only an excellent conductor of heat, but is also known for its antibacterial properties.

Not only does it keep your mojito cooler for longer, but it also ensures that the ice melts less quickly, which improves the taste of your cocktail.

In addition, the metal gives the cocktail a slightly metallic taste that perfectly balances the sweetness of the sugar and the acidity of the lime. The combination of the cool metal and the refreshing ingredients makes this mojito an unforgettable experience.

This mojito in a copper cup is more than just a cocktail. It's a taste explosion, a refreshment, a break from everyday life and an invitation to enjoy the moment.

So, what are you waiting for? Mix your mojito, sit back and enjoy the summer to the full.

To your health!
