WHITE WINE MOJITO
I tend to prefer cocktails that follow classic recipes. But on a recent trip to southern Utah, I happily sipped a moderated mojito at Red Mountain Resort, which does not serve spirits, only beer and wine. The rum in this rendition had been swapped for sauvignon blanc. The general manager, Tracey Welsh, explained: "Our inspiration was to offer a lower alcohol content in cocktail favorites our guests love, allowing them to wake up feeling refreshed the next day, and ready to go for early morning hikes." That's providing you can drink just one.

DINER'S WINE "MOJITO"
This cocktail was created to represent the Diners, Winers, and Chives team for ZWT #8. It represents our team because it is fresh, trendy, sweet, spicy, and also health conscious. Yes, I said it. It's got fresh fruit, fresh herbs, raw honey, and fresh ginger. Do the research. And we stick together and don't do anything without Chives.

Steps:

- Add the tequila to a cocktail shaker filled halfway with ice. Add the simple syrup, lime juice and the remaining mint leaves. Cover and shake well.

MOJITO (CUBAN RUM LIME SPRITZER)
Steps:
- Wash and stem the mint leaves, reserving 6 whole sprigs for garnish. Place the mint leaves in the bottom of a sturdy pitcher and add the sugar. Mash the mint leaves and sugar together, using the tip of a wooden spoon -- this extracts the mint oils. Add the lime juice and rum and stir until the sugar is dissolved. The recipe can be made several hours ahead to this stage. However, expect some discoloring in the mint leaves if you make the mojitos more than 20 minutes ahead.
- Just before serving, add the club soda and gently stir to mix. Partially fill 6 highball glasses with ice. Add the mojito mixture and garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint.
Tips:
- Choose the right wine: For a classic mojito, white rum is the most traditional choice. However, you can also experiment with other types of rum, such as gold or dark rum, for a more complex flavor.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your mojito will taste. This means using fresh lime juice, mint leaves, and soda water.
- Chill your ingredients: Make sure the white wine, rum, and soda water are well-chilled before you start making your mojito. This will help to create a refreshing drink that is perfect for a hot day.
- Muddle the mint and lime wedges: Muddling the mint and lime wedges helps to release their flavors and aromas. Be sure to muddle them gently so that you don't bruise the mint leaves.
- Add the white wine, rum, and soda water: Once the mint and lime wedges have been muddled, add the white wine, rum, and soda water. Stir gently to combine.
- Serve immediately: Mojitos are best served immediately after they are made. Garnish with a lime wedge and a mint sprig for a refreshing and flavorful drink.
