Mojito Pitcher Recipe!

mint

water

sugar

lime juice (about 8 limes), plus 1 lime

white rum

soda water or club soda

Add the sugar, water and mint to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and stir until all sugar is dissolved. Turn off the heat and allow it to sit for at least 5 minutes. Then strain it into a large pitcher.

Add the lime juice and rum to the pitcher. Add the extra mint leaves and the extra lime, cut into rounds. Fill the pitcher with 4 handfuls of ice. Gently stir in soda water just before serving.

So is it really best to put the fresh mint into the hot simple syrup. Seven or eight years ago  I made a recipe like this about but didn’t keep any notes however my recollection was that I made the simple syrup, cooled it down to at least room temperature then added the fresh mint leaves and let it steep at least 24 hours. That way the mint leaves didn’t get “cooked“ and it tasted freshly fantastic but it took longer than your recipe. Have you ever tried putting the French mint leaves into a room temperature syrup and then refrigerating to allow to sleep for 24 hours versus putting the leaves in the hot syrup? Maybe I’m remembering it incorrectly because I make a lot of regular Mojitos, well not regular because I use Equal instead of sugar and that of course uses fresh mint leaves so that the muddling action of the Equal powder plus line juice is what draws out the mint flavor from the leaves. Am curious to hear if you ever tested both methods and which one tasted better regardless of how long it took.

This recipe was a winner! I made it for a girls night my friend was having. Everyone loved it!
