My notes

Tips

  • For an alcohol-free mojito, use 6 tbsp cold water (9 tbsp in a 709 ml24 oz tubpint) in place of the rum, then top each glass with a splash of soda water.
  • Use only the leaves and blend for no longer than 30 seconds. Stems and long blending make the syrup bitter.
  • Too thick to sip? Add 2 tbsp cold water and run Re-spin.

Why it works

Lime syrup at about 17% sugar freezes firm enough to shave into fine ice, and the rum added at the end loosens it into a smooth slush. Blending and straining the mint gives color and fresh flavor without leafy bits.
