EASY MOJITOS



Easy Mojitos image

It's hard to find mojitos at any of the restaurants in the small town I'm stationed in, and when I tried to make my own using club soda, they never seemed to turn out right. Using lemon-lime soda also cuts down on the amount of sugar usually used.

THE REAL MOJITO



The Real Mojito image

This is an authentic recipe for mojito. I sized the recipe for one serving, but you can adjust it accordingly and make a pitcher full. It's a very refreshing drink for hot summer days. Be careful when drinking it, however. If you make a pitcher you might be tempted to drink the whole thing yourself, and you just might find yourself talking Spanish in no time! Tonic water can be substituted instead of the soda water but the taste is different and somewhat bitter.

½ lime, cut into 4 wedges
2 tablespoons white sugar, or to taste

Add 2 more lime wedges and the sugar, and muddle again to release the lime juice. Do not strain the mixture. Fill the glass almost to the top with ice. Pour the rum over the ice, and fill the glass with carbonated water. Stir, taste, and add more sugar if desired. Garnish with the remaining lime wedge.

MOJITO MARINADE

Provided by John Stage

Categories     Sauce     Garlic     Onion     Sauté     Lime     Orange

Yield Makes 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup chopped garlic
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cups fresh orange juice
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup olive oil
4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Mix together the garlic, onions, orange juice, and lime juice in a bowl. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan til just smoking. Now cover up your arms and put some potholder mitts on your hands because you're about to do something that is contrary to good cooking practice but produces great flavor release. Slide the contents of the bowl into the hot oil - be very careful because the liquid will splatter. Simmer for 5 minutes to soften the onions and garlic. Season the marinade with the rest of the ingredients. Pour everything into a blender or food processor and pulse 3 times to combine. Pour into a plastic container and cool to room temperature; then cover and refrigerate. Mojito Marinade keeps for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

  • For a classic Mojito, use light rum, lime juice, soda water, mint, and simple syrup. For a sweeter Mojito, increase the amount of simple syrup. For a tarter Mojito, increase the amount of lime juice.
  • To make a Limeade Mojito, simply omit the rum and add more lime juice and soda water. You can also add a splash of lime sherbet or lime-flavored gelatin for a fun twist.
  • For a refreshing Virgin Mojito, omit the rum and add more lime juice, soda water, and sparkling water. You can also add a splash of cranberry juice or ginger ale for a fun twist.
  • Garnish your Mojitos with fresh mint, lime wedges, and a sprinkle of sugar for a classic presentation.
  • Serve Mojitos immediately after they are made, as the mint will lose its flavor if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Whether you're looking for a classic Mojito, a refreshing Limeade Mojito, or a Virgin Mojito, this recipe has you covered. With just a few simple ingredients, you can enjoy a delicious and refreshing Mojito at home. So next time you're in the mood for a tropical cocktail, give this recipe a try.
