Boy has it been hot! This is the perfect time to enjoy a refreshing cocktail to beat the heat. Mojitos are the summer drink of choice in my opinion. Perfect to sip on while grilling outside or simply to enjoy with a variety of appetizer-like munchies.
Now I've used mango nectar but you can certainly mix it up with passion fruit, guava or even lychee. I've used an ounce or rum but you can kick it up to 1.5 ounces if you wish. Just want a tasty drink? Leave out the alcohol and it will be a lovely summer sipper. You can even double or triple the ingredients for a pitcher of pure pleasure!
No further delaying. Let's wet your whistle!
Here's what you'll need:
White rum
Lemon-lime soda pop (7-Up, Sprite)
Mango nectar
1 lime
Mint
Cut lime into 8 wedges.
Place 4 in each glass.
Add 6 medium sized mint leaves in each glass.
With a muddler, crush the limes and mint
until limes are juiced and mint is fragrant.
A post muddling shot...
Add 1 ounce of rum to each glass.
Add 1/2 C of crushed ice to each glass.
Next, 4 ounces of mango nectar per glass.
Top each glass with about 3 ounces of the soda pop.
Stir to mix thoroughly.
Garnish with mint sprigs.
Guzzle this one down...
Make another to sip and savour!
Simply refreshing!
