Mint & Rhubarb Mojito Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Make Rhubarb Syrup

   In a saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb and sugar. Add 1 cup of water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the rhubarb softens, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to separate the syrup from the solids. Set aside the rhubarb syrup.

2. 2

   Infuse the Rum

   In a clean jar, combine the white rum and a handful of fresh mint leaves. Seal the jar and let it sit in a cool, dark place for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. The longer it sits, the stronger the mint flavor will be.

3. 3

   Muddle the Mint

   In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves.

4. 4

   Combine Ingredients

   To the muddled mint, add the fresh lime juice, rhubarb syrup, mint-infused white rum, and house-made rhubarb liqueur. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

5. 5

   Add Ice and Bubbles

   Fill the glass with ice cubes. Top off the drink with club soda or sparkling water, giving it a gentle stir to incorporate the bubbles.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish your mojito with additional mint leaves and a slice of lime, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Mint & Rhubarb Mojito!
