I’ve made it my mission to find the perfect mojito recipe – I know, it is a tough job. So I’ve tried dozens of different recipes (See the sacrifices I make?) and have come up with what I think is the perfect mojito. The secret is the simple syrup and the bitters. Ingredients:
8 mint leaves (plus more for garnish if desired) |
2 ounces simple syrup |
2 1/2 ounces light rum |
2 ounces lime juice |
2 ounces club soda |
4 drops bitters |
lime wedge (for garnish if desired) |
Directions:
1. Place the mint leaves and simple syrup in a glass and muddle the mint until the leaves are crushed and the flavor is released.
2. Add the rum, lime juice and bitters and stir to combine.
3. Top with club soda and stir lightly.
4. Garnish with a sprig of mint and lime wedge.
