Grapefruit Mojitos

 

Ingredients:

• 3 cups water
• 1 cup fresh grapefruit juice, plus slices for garnish
• 4 limes juiced into mixture, plus 1 more for garnish
• 10-15 mint leaves
• 6 TBS sugar - fine
• 8 oz rum 

Directions:

Bring the water to a boil on the stove top or in the microwave. Stir in the sugar until dissolved and then add the mint leaves. Let the mixture cool. Juice your limes and grapefruit and pour into a pitcher. Add the rum and the simple syrup mixture. Add sliced limes, grapefruit, and mint leaves to garnish. I tend to make my drinks a bit weaker then most people may like, so you can add more rum if you please! :) I doubled this recipe to make a pitcher full.

I don't like many drinks, but this is one of my favorites. Here's the recipe, you're going to want to write this one down!

Mojitos

1/2 cup water
4 tablespoons sugar
1/4 fresh mint leaves
4 limes juiced, 1 for garnish
4 oz white rum

Prepare the glasses by dipping the rims into lime juice and then sugar. Bring the water to a boil and dissolve the sugar in the water. Stir the leaves into the hot water. Add the juice of the limes and the rum. Pour into a pitcher and refrigerate if making a larger batch or into a shaker with ice and shake. Pour over ice and garnish with a few mint leaves and a lime wedge. Enjoy!
