July 19, 2025 โ Yigit Kiratli
A refreshing fusion of Greek island spirit and Caribbean rhythm, the Ouzo Mojito takes the timeless mint-and-lime cocktail and gives it a bold Mediterranean soul.
The anise notes of ouzo blend perfectly with fresh herbs and citrus โ creating a drink thatโs aromatic, vibrant, and unmistakably unique.
โจ What Youโll Need
-
50 ml Ouzo
-
1 lime, cut into wedges
-
8โ10 fresh mint leaves
-
2 tsp brown sugar or honey
-
Soda water (to top up)
-
Crushed ice
-
Optional: a few drops of lemon juice for extra brightness
๐ฅ How to Mix
-
In a tall glass, muddle the lime wedges and sugar (or honey) to release the juice and oils.
-
Add the mint leaves and gently press them โ donโt crush.
-
Pour in the Ouzo and fill the glass with crushed ice.
-
Top with soda water and stir gently.

Garnish with a sprig of mint and a thin lime wheel.
๐ฟ Casa Mediterra Tip
To elevate the aroma, rub a fresh mint leaf along the rim of the glass before serving.
For a softer, summer-friendly version, add a splash of lemon soda instead of plain soda water.
