Pomegranate Mojitos
1 oz. mint simple syrup*
a few mint sprigs, if possible
1 oz. lime juice (roughly one squeezed lime, if you have fresh limes)
1 oz. pom syrup
1 oz. rum (white rum is best)
club soda to top
We took a little mojito class and the teacher suggested using a
collins glass. We, however, typically use pint glasses...:) Mostly
because we really like this drink (also partially because we do not
own Collins glasses).
Muddle
lime juice + mint leaves a few times (don't overmuddle, as mint
gets bitter when overmuddled!), add simple syrup & pomegranate
syrup. fill glass with ice, add rum and club soda to top off, stir,
garnish with lime slice and mint, if you have them.
* we made our own mint-infused simple syrup - very easy - heat 1:1 water:sugar + a handful of mint leaves until the sugar dissolves (doesn't need to actually boil).
Ginger Gin & Tonic
1 oz ginger liqueur (we used Domaine du Canton)
1 oz gin (we used Bombay Sapphire)
tonic water to top
Optional but awesome: muddle fresh strawberries, peach, or
raspberries in bottom of collins glass)
Fill glass with ice - add liquor; top with tonic. garnish with lime and serve!
Orange Slush1 lg. frozen orange juice concentrate
1 lg. frozen lemonade concentrate
7 cups water (a bit less is fine)
1 cup sugar
2 cups very strong tea
3 cups (+/-) vodka
An ice cream bucket is the perfect size container. Stir thoroughly. Freeze at least 24 hours.
To mix drink, fill glass 2/3 to 3/4 full, top up with 7-up or sprite. Stir and serve with small spoon.
