Refreshing Lime Mint Mojito
There's nothing quite like the zing of lime and the sweetness of mint in a mojito. This is my go-to drink when I want to bring a bit of freshness to a warm day.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh lime juice about 9-10 limes worth
- 0.5 cup fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 cup simple syrup add more to taste
- 0.75 cup white rum add more to taste
- ice
- sparkling water
Instructions
- Place the mint leaves and lime juice into a small pitcher. Gently muddle the leaves in the juice until the aroma is vibrant and fresh.
- Pour in the simple syrup and rum, stirring gently to combine. Fill the pitcher two-thirds full with ice, stirring again until well chilled.
- Divide the mixture into glasses filled halfway with ice. Top each glass with a splash of sparkling water for a crisp finish.
Notes
This mojito is a wonderful blend of tart and sweet. Adjust the simple syrup to your desired sweetness. Perfect for any gathering.
