I'm a big fan of Mojitos! This minty-lime concoction is just so refreshing, especially on a hot summer day! The crisp bite of the club soda and the hint of rum, muddled with the fresh mint and lime juice really gets you in to a relaxing mood. After all, isn't that what a vacation is all about? During my latest stay at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, I took a moment between hopping parks to sit down and soak up one of my favorite drinks, the Bacardi Mojito at the Laguna Bar. I've shared the recipe for this tasty treat for your mixing pleasure. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
5 to 6 fresh mint leaves
4 to 5 fresh lime wedges
Appx. 1 to 2 tablespoons agave nectar or simple syrup
Club Soda or Soda Water
Bacardi Rum
Directions:
1. Place 5 to 6 fresh mint leaves and 3 lime wedges in the
bottom of the glass.
2. Add a good drizzle of agave nectar and gently muddle for a
few seconds.
*Don't mash the mint to a pulp, the key is to gently bruise the leaves to allow the mint to release it's essential oils. If you don't have a
muddling stick, simply squeeze the mint leaves in your hand and tear each leaf into a few large pieces, and give the limes a squeeze before you drop them in for a similar effect.*
3. Add ice and then pour in; 1 part Bacardi rum, 3 parts soda water.
