Ginger Mint Mojitos Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the lime rinds and sugar. Toss to coat the rinds with the sugar, then cover. Let sit, stirring every 45 minutes, for about 4 hours, or until the sugar is completely dissolved and there's syrup in the bottom of the bowl.
• Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pushing to extract as much liquid as possible. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
• In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the rum, lime juice, simple syrup, and mint leaves. Shake vigorously for 20 seconds.
• Strain into a glass filled with ice and top with ginger beer.
• Garnish with the slice of lime and mint leaves.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Juice the limes. You should wind up with about 1/4 cup of juice. Reserve the juiced halves.
• In a bowl, mash the lime halves, juice, rum, mint, sugar, and ginger with a spoon or masher of choice.
• Allow it to sit for about 20 minutes, and then strain into a bowl. Discard the solids.
