Port Mojito
The Port Mojito is a simple twist on a mojito-inspired cocktail. Instead of rum, this version combines port wine with Santa Fe Mixes Mojito Mix.
The mixer provides the drink’s lime and mint flavors, while the port wine creates a distinctive two-ingredient cocktail. Shake everything with ice, strain it into a chilled glass and finish it with fresh mint.

Tips for Making the Cocktail
Chill the highball glass before preparing the cocktail so the finished drink stays cold after it is strained.
Measure the Mojito Mix and port wine to maintain the recipe’s two-to-one ratio. Shake the ingredients with ice immediately before serving.
Add the mint sprig after straining the drink so it remains fresh and aromatic.
What Makes a Port Mojito Different?
A traditional mojito-inspired drink commonly uses rum, lime and mint. This recipe replaces the rum with port wine and uses Santa Fe Mixes Mojito Mix to supply its balanced lime, mint and sweetness.
The result requires only two measured ingredients, plus ice and a fresh mint garnish.
