Anyone know how to make a tropical mojito?
I had a tropical mojito at Joe's Crabshack and loved it. I want to make some up, but I can't find a recipe for it. This had fruit juice in it and all of the recipes I've found don't have juice in them. Anyone know what kind of juices are in this mojito?
Answers:
there are many variants of mojitos, mostly subing out some of the simple syrup for a tropical fruit juice, like this one
1 ? oz. Rum
1/2 oz. Mojito Mix Syrup/ simple syrup
1 oz. Mango Syrup
? oz. Fresh Lime Juice
2 Mint leaves
1 Cup (24cl) of Ice
Mojito's traditionally don't have juice as a main ingredient. It's mint, sugar, club soda, lime, and rum. You could sub whatever juice you like (pineapple, mango) for the club soda to get the desired effect. Just experiment with the recipe until you find what you like.
The juice was probably simple syrup (water and sugar, heated until the sugar dissolves) mixed with lime juice.
