Blue Mojito Recipe

Melissa
This recipe takes everything great about the classic rum cocktail and puts on a citrusy and blue hue twist. It’s a fun way to mix things up, whether you’re making a single drink or a batch for a party.

Ingredients
  

  • 2-4 leaves fresh mint
  • ½ ounce simple syrup
  • 1 ½ ounces white rum
  • 1 ounce blue curaçao
  • ½ ounce lime juice
  • Soda water for topping
  • Lime slices and/or extra mint for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Add the fresh mint and simple syrup to a highball glass.
  • Gently muddle the mint with the syrup.
  • Add ice then add the white rum, blue curacao, and lime juice to the glass.
  • Top with soda water and gently stir, moving the spoon up and down the glass to evenly distribute the flavor.
  • Garnish if desired. 

Notes

To make homemade simple syrup:
  • Combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar in a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
  • Whisk the sugar until full dissolved.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Keeps in fridge for up to 3 weeks. 
 
To make a pitcher of 8 drinks, you’ll need:
  • 15-25 leaves fresh mint
  • ½ cup simple syrup
  • 1 ½ cups white rum
  • 1 cup blue curaçao
  • ½ cup lime juice
  • About 2 cups soda water
  1. Add the mint and simple syrup to a pitcher that can hold at least 50 ounces. Muddle gently with a long muddler or a long wooden spoon. 
  2. Add the rum, blue curacao, and lime juice to the pitcher. 
  3. Stir and chill in the fridge for up to 1 day if making ahead.**
  4. When ready to serve top with soda water and stir again. 
  5. Serve with lime slices and extra mint, if desired.
**If making ahead, remove mint leaves from pitcher and add back fresh leaves right before serving. Also, do not add lime slices in advance - both fresh mint and lime slices may make the cocktail bitter if left to sit overnight.
