    Simple Syrup Mojito

    Oh, Mojitos! Your sweet minty, limes go so well with that splash of rum and bubbly soda. I've had a few requests to feature the Mojito this Friday so here it is! It took me awhile to learn how to make a good one. It wasn't until I actually took a mixology class where I learned a few tricks of the trade, that I was able to humbly perfect my mojito.

    Now, just a disclaimer, this might not be 100% authentic because I do use simple syrup instead of trying to get sugar to dissolve into a cold beverage. Does this ever work? If so, prove to me how! Until then, I will use my simple syrup. Or maybe people just enjoy large chunks of sugar at the bottom of their beverage? If so, this recipe is not for you. 😉

    So one thing you are going to need/want is a muddler. If you're a big mojito drinker, then maybe you'll want to invest in a proper muddler and if so, might as well get a whole cocktail shaker kits that includes a muddler. If mojito making is just an occasional endeavor, you can get away with using a spatula handle if it's rounded, on one end or a pestle if you own a mortar and pestle set.

    Another tip is to make your simple syrup ahead of time so it's chilled when you use it. I like to make a batch of simple syrup and store it in the fridge so it's ready to go come happy hour.

    The final little tip I'll tell you about making the perfect mojito, which I learned from a seasoned bartender, is to not over muddle your mint. You should not be shredding other otherwise tearing your mint leaves! You just gently press the leaves with your muddler a few times and the oils in the mint will release. OK, ready to make some mojitos?!

    A Simpler Mojito - Try this recipe using simple syrup if you've had trouble getting sugar to dissolve when you've made mojitos in the past.
