How To Make Mojitos?

Brutus2600 · 10-09-2010, 10:30 PM

I'm going to throw a recipe out there and you might think it sounds like a girly drink, but don't knock it until you've tried it!

Half a dozen mint leaves or so (fresh)
Half a lime cut into two pieces
Half a dozen fresh raspberries
A dash of simple syrup (about 1oz)

Muddle that in the glass

Add ice to top of glass
Shot of rum (about 2oz, I use Bacardi silver)

Shake all that up, pour back into glass, top with club soda

It's redic delcious. My gf loves them, so do I! Also, as you can tell from my recipe I just kind of eyeball everything

If you just want a normal mojito, that recipe works too minus the raspberries, but I highly recommend trying them!

Great summer drink. I live in the South, so a Mint julep or Mojito always hit the spot. My grand mother grow her own lime and mint.

Heh.

Ya need a good narrow mojito glass so that you can muddle properly first.

Then,

-A little more than a tablespoon of sugar, I prefer refined over raw
-6 or 7 good, fresh mint leaves
muddle

-juice of a 1/2 lime
muddle more

-a good pour of rum...out of a handle, 5 or 6 gurgles
--I typically use Appleton or Mount Gay white rum
-mix well with a spoon
-fill the glass to rim with ice
-top off with seltzer
-stir again with spoon

My mojitos rock. ALL the neighborhood wimmenz love 'em. That's all I'm sayin.
