Mojitos

[heart_this] · Jul 1, 2011 · 25 Comments

Mojito

A sweet, tart and minty lime drink that is always refreshing!

Since I had all of the ingredients out for mojitos to make the mojito grilled fish tacos with strawberry salsa it was just the right time to make some mojitos to enjoy with them. A mojito is a Cuban drink consisting of rum, mint, sugar, lime juice and club soda. The lime juice gives it a tartness that the sugar or syrup balances out and the mint makes it super refreshing and when the glass is filled with ice it is a great drink for hot summer days. I certainly enjoyed my mojito last weekend with the tacos but it is also the perfect drink to be relaxing with this long weekend!

Rhubarb Mojito
You know me; I like to play with things and I could not help but try using some of the rhubarb syrup in place of the simple syrup. It was a simple substitution and it turned out really well! The rhubarb flavour was the perfect pair to the tart lime and refreshing mint. With the door open, the possibilities are near limitless! How about a strawberry mojito with some crushed strawberries and strawberry syrup or a blueberry mojito…

    My favourite cocktail. I often make a mint-infused simple syrup for these. Yummy.
