Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

3 lime wedges
Mint leaves (I like mint minty, so I use about 4-6 bigger mint leaves, but start small with just a few, torn into rough pieces)
1 ounce simple syrup
2 ounces Don Q Cristal Rum
Ice
Club soda or tonic water (for topping)

Steps:

In a cocktail shaker, add in the lime wedges and mint leaves. Using a muddler or a wooden spoon handle, muddle the mixture for a good 30 seconds to 1 minute to really release the juices from the limes and oils from the mint. Add in the simple syrup, rum, and enough ice to nearly fill the cocktail shaker.
Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously for about 30 seconds or until ice cold to the touch. Remove the cocktail shaker lid and pour the entire mixture - ice, limes, mint, and liquids - into a fresh glass. Top with club soda or tonic water.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your sauce. Use fresh cilantro, garlic, onions, and peppers for the best results.
Don't skip the marinating step. Marinating the chicken in the mojo sauce for at least 30 minutes will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor.
Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent it from drying out. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked.
Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Rice, beans, and plantains are all great options.
