Hello all,
I've been experimenting with Mojito recipes after HectorTMC recently made me a few.
Here is my basic by the glass recipe derived from HectorTMC's initial serving:
- 1. Wash a few leaves of fresh mint and grind them a bit with a mortar and pestle.
- 2. Wash out the mortar and pestle with the crushed leaves using a 1 to 1½ ounces of *simple syrup into a large glass (16 oz) with ice. (*Dissolve one cup sugar in one cup of boiling water to make the syrup)
- 3. Stir in 1 to 1½ ounces of Key Lime Juice.
- 4. Add 1 to 1½ ounces of light rum. (Matt R recommends: Clarke's Court, Cruzan, Pitu Cachaca or Ron Matusalem Platinum (not the Cuban kind).)
- 5. Top off with club soda and garnish with mint and a slice or two of fresh lime.
- 6. Enjoy with a great smoke on a hot afternoon.
FYI - Mr. Robusto recipe from 2003.
