Mojito's!!!
« on: June 16, 2006, 07:40:08 PM »
Can I just say how wonderfully refreshing these are!  Hubs had never tried one and he's hooked!!  Here's the recipe I used last weekend and again today....just had to share!!!  Happy Friday all!!!


MOJITO
A refreshing cooler made with lime juice, fresh mint, and plenty of rum.

3 cups (packed) fresh mint leaves
9 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups light rum
1/2 cup fresh lime juice

6 cups club soda
6 cups crushed ice
6 lime wedges

Reserve 6 mint leaves for garnish. Place remaining mint leaves in medium bowl. Add sugar. Mash with wooden spoon until mint is aromatic and oils are released. Add rum and lime juice and stir until sugar dissolves. Strain mixture into pitcher. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead; refreigerate.)

Add club soda to pitcher; gently stir. Fill each of 6 glasses with 1 cup crushed ice. Pour mojito over and garnish each glass with 1 mint leaf and 1 lime wedge.

Serves 6.

I love Mojitos... and also Caipirinha!  Wiki has links to recipes... it's a mojito without the mint...

Love cachaça!

I don't like mojitos... I thought I would. I like mint, I like alcohol and I like ice... just the combo is foul.  :-\\\\
