I’m normally not a big rum drinker, but I do like the occasional mojito, especially while sitting patio side in Old San Juan on a hot day!

So I decided to pick up some rum in Puerto Rico, I mean how could I not?! This is where they make the stuff. Yes you can buy rum in the States, but I was able to purchase it at a fraction of the price in Puerto Rico since it was Duty Free! Woohoo!

The Perfect Mojito

To make this perfect mojito you need limes, fresh mint, simple syrup, club soda, and of course rum. I found simple syrup at my local liquor store in the mix section. If you don’t have simple syrup you can replace it with 2 parts sugar and 1 part water by stirring the sugar and water mixture over medium heat until sugar is dissolved.

Oh and I forgot to mention you need a The Perfect Mojito

This is my favorite part of making a mojito, muddling the limes and the mint together. The aroma from the limes and the mint mixed is amazing, and always makes me feel like I’m back in Old San Juan, sitting in one of the open air cafes with a mojito in hand.

The Perfect Mojito

Enjoy!
