Ingredients Needed:
- 1 cup dark rum
- 3 cups lemonade, store-bought or homemade
- 1/2 bunch mint leaves
- Ice
How To Make Rum Lemonade?
- Combine Ingredients: In a large pitcher, combine 240ml dark rum, 720ml lemonade, and the mint leaves.
- Mix Well: Stir the mixture to combine the ingredients.
- Serve: Pour the drink into glasses filled with ice.
Recipe Tips:
- Bruise the Mint Leaves: Gently press the mint leaves with your fingers before adding them to release more flavor.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter drink, add sugar or simple syrup to taste.
- Use Fresh Lemonade: Freshly made lemonade will enhance the flavor, but store-bought lemonade works if you’re short on time.
- Chill the Drink: Let the mixture sit in the fridge for 15–20 minutes before serving for a stronger mint flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the drink into glasses with ice right after mixing to avoid the ice melting and diluting the flavors.
How To Store Leftovers?
Since Rum Lemonade is a cold drink, simply store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Make sure it cools to room temperature before placing it in the fridge.
