Ingredients

  • 10 mint leaves plus a mint sprig for garnish
  • 2 ounces white or silver rum
  • 1 ounce blue curacao
  • ¾ ounce lime juice
  • ½ ounce simple syrup or light agave
  • club soda or soda water to top
  • Lime wheel for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Fill a highball or other tall glass halfway with crushed or cubed ice.
  2. Add the fresh mint leaves to your cocktail shaker. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to press down three or four times gently muddle the mint until you can smell the mint. Do not over-muddle or it will taste bitter.
  3. Add the rum, blue curaçao, lime juice, and syrup to your shaker with an ice cube or two, then double strain into your highball glass.
  4. Fill the glass the remainder of the way with ice, then pour your soda water over top.
  5. Slap a mint sprig on the table to release the oils, then add it and a lime wheel for garnish.

Notes

  • For this blue mojito recipe, the mint is muddled gently in your cocktail shaker and then strained. Muddling gently and then straining prevents releasing the bitter oils and keeps you from getting mint bits in your teeth!
  • Crushed ice and small ice cubes are best in this blue curacao mojito and other highball cocktails because the ice melts quickly for a cocktail that's chilly and refreshing.
  • Double straining after muddling will keep any mint or lime bits out of your blue mojito.
