How to Make this Mojito
This recipe makes 2 cocktails that are about 6 ounces each.
- Fill each glass with ice cubes and fresh mint leaves.
- Pour the rum, passion fruit juice and lemon juice into a cocktail mixing glass and stir briefly.
- Cut the orange into slices and then into quarters and put 2-3 quarters in each glass.
- Now pour the mixture evenly into the glasses, add half of the passion fruit pulp/seeds into each glass, garnish with mint and orange slices and enjoy.
What is the Best White Rum?
For this recipe you will be using Añejo instead of Reposado, a dark rum which has been aged. White rum is great for tropical and fruity drinks.
Rum is made from sugarcane, which grows in tropical climates. The best white rum will come from places like Puerto Rico and Asia. Always check the bottle when looking for rum at the liquor store.
Mojito Tips
If you want a stronger mint flavor and even more of an authentic mojito feeling put the mint leaves into the glasses first and carefully muddle them with a wooden spoon or a muddler. Just be careful not to overdo it so the mint taste doesn’t overpower the passion fruit.
Kid-Friendly Version
This can be served without the rum to have an alcohol free option. You can add some soda, but kids love it just like this.
