How to make the best summer mojito you've ever tasted
by Lindsay Weiss posted in Life
In my near decade of writing here, I don't think I've ever posted an alcoholic drink. It seems a little out of place on a site dedicated to...well, babies, but after tasting this I knew I'd make an exception. Moms and dads can have a cocktail once in a while, and dadgummit, it should totally be this one.
I made a pitcher of these for our Memorial Day party and it was GUZZLED. Seconds and thirds...can you make another batch...what is the recipe...this goes down WAY too easily!
The difference between this recipe and others I've tried is that you infuse the simple syrup with blackberries. Tons of blackberries. It makes a huge difference in the flavor. I had some simple syrup leftover from this batch, so I froze it for next time.
Blackberry Mojitos
You can use frozen blackberries (cheaper) for the simple syrup. In the actual glass, use fresh. Store any unused simple syrup in the fridge or freezer for later. BLACKBERRY SIMPLE SYRUP
4 cups frozen/fresh blackberries
2 cups sugar
2 cups water (1 1/2 cups if using frozen blackberries)
SINGLE BLACKBERRY MOJITO
5 blackberries
3 mint leaves
2 oz rum
1 oz blackberry simple syrup
2-3 slices lime
Club soda to the top
lime wedges and mint for garnish
TO MAKE A SMALL PITCHER (double for large)
10 oz white rum
4 or 5 sprigs of mint with leaves
5 oz blackberry simple syrup
1 to 2 limes
1 cup of blackberries
club soda to the top
lime wedges and mint for garnish
Simple syrup
Put blackberries,...
