What Is Mojito Foam ?
Traditional Mojitos are made with muddled mint, lime juice, sugar, and rum. In this version, we turn those flavors into a culinary foam using a cream charger. The foam is then spooned or piped onto the top of your drink—adding a rich, aromatic layer that enhances every sip.
What's you need?
(For about 4–6 servings of Mojito foam:)

|
1 oz simple syrup (1:1 sugar and water) |

| 10–12 fresh mint leaves | Measuring cup or jigger |

How to Make Mojito Foam with a Cream Charger?
- Step 1: Blend the Base
In a blender or mixing cup, combine:
Lime juice,Rum,Simple syrup
Mint leaves,Egg white or soy lecithin
Cold water
Blend for 15–20 seconds until smooth.
- Step 2: Strain the Mixture
Use a fine mesh strainer to remove mint pulp and any solids. This ensures a smooth texture and prevents clogs in the cream whipper.
- Step 3: Charge the Whipper
Pour the liquid into your cream whipper. Seal tightly. Use a pressure regulator to safely release and control the flow of nitrous oxide from the N2O cream charger into your cream dispenser. and shake vigorously 20-30 times to distribute the gas evenly.
Place the whipper in the fridge for 15–30 minutes to chill and allow the foam to stabilize.
- Step 4: Dispense the Foam
When ready to serve, shake the whipper once or twice again. Carefully dispense the foam over your prepared Mojito or serve it as a side topping.
How to Serve?

Tips for Success
Chill ingredients before charging for a firmer, longer-lasting foam.
Use soy lecithin or egg white to help stabilize the bubbles.
Don’t overfill the cream whipper—leave about 1/4 of the bottle empty for gas expansion.
