I created this blood orange mojito when I wanted to do a pomagranate mojito and my juice was not good. I had to substitute with another juice and I chose Blood orange juice. Then it was too sweet. I had to reduce the quantity of sugar.

Time 2m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon icing sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or 1 tablespoon lime juice
12 mint leaves
6 tablespoons white rum
1/4 cup blood orange juice
1/8-1/4 fluid ounce ginger ale or 1/8-1/4 fluid ounce club soda

Steps:

  • Combine the sugar, lemon juice and mint leaves in a tall glass; mash with the back of a spoon.
  • Mix in the rum and blood orange juice.
  • Fill glass with ice.
  • Top with a splash of ginger ale.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh blood oranges. If you can't find blood oranges, you can substitute regular oranges, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
  • Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best results. Bottled or store-bought orange juice will not have the same flavor and will make the mojito too sweet.
  • Add the sweetener to taste. The amount of sweetness you want in your mojito is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • If you don't have simple syrup, you can make your own by dissolving 1 cup of sugar in 1 cup of boiling water. Let the syrup cool completely before using it.
  • Add the rum and club soda to taste. The amount of alcohol you want in your mojito is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Garnish your mojito with a blood orange slice, a lime wedge, and a sprig of mint. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your drink.

Conclusion:

The blood orange mojito is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a delicious and festive drink, give the blood orange mojito a try.
