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!

hey BB! COngrats on the article in CCC&N :)
And, I'll be making baby back ribs tomorrow. Send me good BBQ vibes...Lord knows I need em.
I grow mint on the border of my garden to repel deer.
I have a prolific mint in my front yard and I only do lamb every so often, so perhaps mojito's it is.
Zibbs, I didnt realize you were a master gardener as well. What don't you do?
Kimmie, Let me know how those ribs turn out.
Chris, you need to start drinking or that mint is going to take over your lawn.
