Ingredients
- 1 cup simple syrup (see below)
- 6 oranges ((I used a combination of Gold Nuggets,Cara Caras and Minneolas) – divided)
- 20 Mint sprigs
- 4 ounces rum
- 2 teaspoons orange blossom water
- ¼ cup lime juice
- 16 ounces club soda
- ice
Simple Syrup
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¾ cup water
Instructions
- To prepare simple syrup, microwave sugar and water in a microwave-safe liquid measuring cup until sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes; set aside.
- Thinly slice two of the six oranges and place slices in the bottom of a large pitcher. Add mint sprigs and simple syrup.
- Use a cocktail muddler or the back of a wooden spoon to gently muddle the oranges with the mint and simple syrup help release all of the flavors.
- Slice the remaining four oranges in half and use a fork to squeeze all of the orange juice into the pitcher.
- Add rum, orange blossom water and lime juice to the pitcher then stir.
- Fill four glasses with ice then fill 3/4 way with mojito mixture. Top each glass with 4 ounces club soda to serve.
Notes
- Traditional simple syrup is made with a 1:1 ratio of sugar and water but I didn’t find that necessary since I was using juicy oranges that were naturally sweet. If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, feel free to add more sugar to your simple syrup.
