MEXICAN MOJITO

The mojito is so sexy and light that it would be a shame not to adapt the Cuban original to the Mexican model. The typical mojito is made with white rum, but a smooth white tequila works perfectly with the wisp of mint and sweetness. Tequila is a more versatile mixer than one might think, especially in drinks that already lean to the tart and citrusy. A very quick drink to make-and drink.-Deborah Schneider

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb cut into chunks melon
2 limes
1/3 c sugar
1/3 c tequila or frozen concentrate lime juice
3 Tbsp chopped fresh mint
skewers

Steps:

1. In a large resealable ziplock bag, place cut up melons with grated lime zest and juice from 2 limes. Add sugar, mint and tequila. Turn to coat and refrigerate for one hour.
2. To serve thread 4-5 melons on each skewer, discard marinade. Top with more lime peel and mint.

Tips:

For the best mojito, use limes that are fresh and juicy. Meyer lemons or key limes may be substituted for Persian limes.
Use a muddler to gently extract the juices and oils from the limes and mint leaves without overpowering the drink.
Add just enough simple syrup to balance the sourness of the limes. Start with less and add more to taste.
Use a light rum for a refreshing mojito. White rum is a popular choice, but you can also use silver or añejo rum.
Serve the mojito in a highball glass filled with ice. Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint.

The Mexican Mojito is a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. With its combination of sweet, sour, and minty flavors, this drink is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a tasty and easy-to-make cocktail, give the Mexican Mojito a try.
