There’s nothing quite like a cool, minty mojito on a hot summer day, but this classic cocktail is notoriously time consuming and labor intensive to make. Watch how the Aer disc container quickly muddles and chills the cocktail without puréeing the ingredients, saving you time and making clean-up a breeze. Cheers!
How Does It Work?
With the new Aer disc container, we broke the first rule of blending by designing a blade-less container. Instead, the patent-pending Aer™ disc agitates the ingredients without puréeing them. It’s a combination cocktail shaker and muddler in one, which makes the Aer disc container the perfect addition to any home bar. And since the 48-ounce container is larger than a standard bar shaker, you can make batches of cocktails at once.
This recipe makes four mojitos but can be reduced to make individual servings.
