Ingredients
- 6 large limes (¾ cup (178ml) lime juice), divided
- 30 mint leaves plus more for garnish
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup (237ml) simple syrup (see note)
- ¾ cup (178ml) white rum
- 3 cups (711ml) club soda
- Ice
Instructions
- Slice two of the limes and set them aside for garnish. Juice the other 4 limes, you should get about ¾ cup juice, set aside.
- Place the mint leaves and granulated sugar in a glass and muddle them well until they are bruised and fragrant, this may take a few minutes. Place the muddled mint into the bottom of your pitcher.
- Add the simple syrup, lime juice, and rum to the pitcher. Stir to combine.
- Add the club soda and gently stir.
- Garnish glasses with lime slices and fresh mint. Add ice to the glasses and pour the mojitos over the ice and serve.
Notes
- Simple Syrup: I like to add 1/2 cup of simple syrup to the mixture to start, then taste and add more, or I'll leave additional syrup on the side for guests to sweeten as they like.
- Make Ahead: You can even make them ahead by doing all the steps up the adding the club soda and place the pitcher in the fridge, then just before serving, add the club soda and stir. You don’t want the club soda to sit in the pitcher in the fridge because it may become flat.
- Double the Recipe: You can double all the ingredients except you may not need 2 full cups of simple syrup. Start with 1 cup and add more as desired.
