How much Mojito for 6 people — exact measures?
Exact Mojito measures scaled for your guest count — ml per ingredient and short procedure.
Quick answer
Hosting 6 guests? One Mojito per person scales cleanly: dose × number of drinks. Base recipe (45 ml White rum · 25 ml Lime juice) × 6 = 270 ml rum + 150 ml lime juice plus mint, sugar and soda per glass. Use the party buttons for 10 or 20 — the pain point is batch math before a summer terrace, not memorising IBA ratios.

Formula: base dose × number of drinks × glass factor. Non-ml items (splash, mint) stay per-glass notes. Spirits are not sold via our links — use the list when shopping locally.
How it works
| Ingredient | Per glass | For 6 |
|---|---|---|
| White rum | 45 ml | 270 ml |
| Lime juice | 25 ml | 150 ml |
| Lime half | 0.5 lime | 3 lime |
| Sugar | 2 tbsp | 12 tbsp |
Cuban highball template: muddle mint and sugar gently (bruise, do not shred), add rum and lime, fill with crushed ice, top with soda. ~45 ml rum, half a lime, 2 tsp sugar per glass. Mojitos do not batch well — mint oxidises; set up a muddle station or one shaker per round for groups.
Mojito station gear: cocktail muddler, highball glasses set, cocktail jigger, and a cocktail shaker for backup shaken drinks. Buy rum, limes and fresh mint locally — we do not affiliate spirits.
The mint is pressed, not pulverised. Shredding the leaves releases chlorophyll and the drink turns bitter — that cut-grass taste is broken mint, not too much mint. Press gently against the sugar and lime, twice, then stop. Crushed ice melts fast, so build it at the last minute.

Frequently asked questions
What are the classic Mojito proportions?+
~45 ml rum, half a lime, 2 tsp sugar, mint and soda — Cuban highball template.
How do I scale Mojito for a party of 20?+
Set drinks to 20 → **900 ml rum + 500 ml lime juice** plus mint and sugar. Better for ≤8 unless you run a muddle line — mint wilts in premixed pitchers. Prep rum + lime in a jug; muddle fresh per glass.
Can I premix everything ahead of time?+
Mojitos do not batch well — mint oxidises. Pre-muddle stations or assign one shaker per round for groups.
Do you sell the alcohol through this page?+
No — we only suggest bar tools (shaker, glasses, jigger). Buy spirits and vermouth from your local shop; the calculator gives exact ml for your guest count.
