How To Make Mojito Limeade?

1. Muddle the Mint and Limes: In a large pitcher, muddle 120ml fresh mint leaves and lime wedges with 240g crushed ice.
2. Add Syrup and Liquids: Add 240ml Lime-Mint Syrup, 750ml white rum, and 120ml fresh lime juice to the pitcher, then add more ice.
3. Top with Club Soda: Top off with club soda to taste.
4. Serve: Pour the Mojito Limeade into glasses over ice.
5. Garnish: Garnish each glass with a lime wedge and mint sprigs, if desired.
6. Combine Sugar and Water: In a medium saucepan, bring 480ml of water and 400g of sugar to a boil.
7. Dissolve the Sugar: Cook for about 1 minute or until the sugar is fully dissolved.
8. Add Lime Zest and Mint: Remove from heat and stir in 2 limes’ zest and 120g fresh mint leaves.

Recipe Tips:

• Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh mint and limes make a big difference in flavor. Avoid using bottled lime juice for the best taste.
• Muddle Gently: When muddling the mint and lime, don’t mash them too hard. A gentle muddle releases the right amount of flavor without bitterness.
• Adjust Sweetness: If you like your drink sweeter, add more Lime-Mint Syrup. You can taste it as you go to get it just right.
• Chill Everything: For a colder, more refreshing drink, chill your syrup, rum, and glasses beforehand.
• Customize Garnishes: Feel free to add extra lime wedges or mint sprigs to your glass for a fun presentation. You can even add a slice of cucumber for extra freshness.
