Ingredients
  

  • 2-4 leaves fresh mint
  • ½ ounce simple syrup
  • 1 ½ ounces white rum
  • 1 ounce lime juice
  • Champagne or Cava to top
  • Lime slices and/or extra fresh mint sprig for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Add the mint leaves to a highball glass and then add the simple syrup.
  • Gently muddle the mint leaves with the syrup.
  • Add ice to glass. Then, add the white rum and lime juice.
  • Top with enough Champagne to fill the glass.
  • Gently stir and garnish, if desired.

Notes

To make a batch of 8 Mojito Royale cocktails:
  • 15-25 fresh mint leaves
  • ½ cup simple syrup
  • 1 ½ cups white rum
  • 1 cup lime juice
  • 1 bottle of Champagne or cava (standard 750 ml bottle)
  • Lime slices and/or fresh mint leaves for garnish, optional
 
  1. Add the mint in the bottom of a pitcher than can hold at least 55 ounces.
  2. Add the simple syrup and muddle with either end of a long wooden spoon.
  3. Add the white rum and lime juice to the pitcher.
  4. Top with Champagne and gently stir when ready to serve. 
 
Tip: Have guests add ice to their cups instead of adding it to the pitcher so that it doesn’t melt and dilute the pitcher before being consumed. If you need to keep the pitcher cool, you can chill it in the fridge. 
 
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 fully dissolved.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
