Mojito Pitcher Recipe
Description
This Mojito Pitcher Recipe starts by muddling fresh mint leaves, quartered limes, and sugar in a large pitcher. The muddling releases the oils from the mint and the juice from the limes while dissolving the sugar, combining to form the signature citrus-herbal base of a mojito. White rum is then added for the alcoholic component, and the cocktail is topped off with club soda to provide light effervescence and balance the sweetness.
The drink is served over ice, making it a refreshing choice for warm weather or social gatherings. Variations include adding strawberries or raspberries before muddling for a fruity twist. While Bacardi Silver rum is recommended, any light rum works, allowing flexibility in preparation.
Ingredients
- 72 mint leaf more or less to taste, fresh
- 8 lime quartered
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 2 liters club soda
- 2 cups white rum
Instructions
- Add the mint, limes, and sugar to a large pitcher and muddle together until mint begins to break down and becomes fragrant and limes are juiced.
- Add the club soda and white rum to the pitcher and stir to combine.
- Serve over ice.
Notes
- Strawberries or raspberries lend a fruity variation when muddled with the traditional mint and lime ingredients.
- Use any light rum you prefer; Bacardi Silver is a common choice but not required.
