Do you have a pot overgrowing with mint? Do you grow just so you can make mojitos all summer long? I do and if you don't I suggest you get plantin'.I am not huge mixed drink fan but I do drink the big three "Gin and Tonics", "Margaritas" and of course "Mojitos". I don't understand why people order those drinks that taste like juice or something. And then they say "Oh my gosh, it tastes just like orange juice!". Well, if I wanted orange juice I would just drink it. I want my drink to taste like something a bit more adult.
Now that my rant is over, lets get back to my muddle-less mojito. Muddling is a pain in the a$$. Too much work and if you have a crowd over then it simply takes too long. Hence, why I do the muddle-less mojito.
Here what you need. The recipe is for each drink. Multiple it as necessary and make it all at once:
- 1-2 shots of white rum
- Juice of half a lime
- Bunch of mint
- 2 Tablespons of simple syrup
- Seltzer water
- Ice
- Blender
Place the rum, lime juice, syrup and mint into the blender and go to town. You blend just a little or a lot. I tend to blend the hell out of it because I like the "Ecto Cooler" look.
Next, add the blended mixture to an iced glass and top off with selzer water. Now that is the perfect way to start an afternoon!
