Strawberry Lemon Mojito
Use a molasses-based rum (like white Brugal) for a smoother drink, or a sugarcane-based rum (such as white Barbancourt) for a drier cocktail. This recipe makes a total of 4 drinks.
Served best in a highball glass.
Ingredients
8 lemon wedges
24 mint leaves, plus 4 mint sprigs, for garnish (optional)
4 strawberries, plus 2 halved strawberries, for garnish
8 ounces gold or aged rum
3 ounces fresh lemon juice
2 ounces prepared sugarcane syrup or agave nectar
Rim with Sour Lemon Infused Sugar Rimmer
Directions
Rim your glass by swirling a lemon wedge around top of your glass then spin the rim of your glass in your Sour Lemon Infused Sugar Rimmer.
In a cocktail shaker, muddle the lemon wedges with the whole strawberries and mint leaves.
Add ice and the rum, lemon juice and sugarcane syrup; shake well.
Strain into crushed ice–filled highball glasses.
Garnish with the berry halves and mint sprigs.
Serve and enjoy!
