Love mojito? Me too!

Not too sweet, yet refreshing, it’s one of my favorite summer drinks.

I made a teeny-tiny twist to my classic mojito. A touch of coconut rum adds subtle coconut flavor to this otherwise classic mojito.

For extra minty flavor, I’m using mint simple syrup, which is very easy to make. Simply throw a few mint leaves in hot simple syrup and let it steep for about 15 minutes. It really boosts the mint flavor (read: even more refreshing drink!).

Cheers to a wonderful weekend ahead!

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup 50gr sugar, plus 1 tablespoon
  • 20 fresh mint leaves
  • ¼ cup 60ml freshly squeezed lime juice
  • ½ cup 120ml light rum
  • ½ cup 120ml coconut rum
  • 2 cups 480ml club soda
  • 2 cups ice cubes
Note: I test all my recipes with both measurements for the most precise and accurate result!

Instructions

  • To make mint simple syrup, in a small saucepan bring ¼ cup of water to a boil. Add ¼ cup of sugar and stir until dissolved. Cook for additional 3 minutes or so, or until the syrup is slightly thickened.
  • Throw in half of mint leaves and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, add remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and remaining 10 mint leaves.
  • Bruise the mint leaves with a muddler.
  • Stir in mint simple syrup, lime juice and both rums.
  • Pour the mixture into a pitcher with ice and add club soda right before serving.

    My favourite Cocktail of all time is a mojito. The only thing that could trump it is possibly your Coconut Mojito
    Thanks for sharing xx Dandy
