Mojitos are one of my favorite drinks, however I hate spending an outrageous amount of money on them going out, so I figured I might as well learn how to make it from scratch. The first time they turned out well, however the second batch was a little too sweet. It's all dependent on the amount of sugar water, so make sure you don't add too much!
Ingredients:
- White rum
- Limes
- Mint
- Club soda
- Sugar
Directions: Combine 1/2 to 1 cup of sugar to 2 or more cups of water in a sauce pan. Add stems and a few leaves of mint to the sugar water. Turn on the heat and mix until dissolved. Let cool (or place in a container and cool in the fridge). Prep the drinks by adding ice, pouring in 1 to 1 1/2 shots of rum, and a cup or more of club soda. Squeeze a slice or two of lime into the drink and then add 1/3 cup of sugar water. Check the sweetness by tasting. If needed, add more. Top with a sliced lime, some fresh mint, and a straw!
*You can always reuse the leftover sugar water for drinks a different day.
