Description

Blue Curaçao, rum, mint, and lime juice come together to make this delicious and unique Blue Mojito. With the same minty and citrusy flavor that makes a mojito great, this blue mojito is a colorful twist on a classic.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 ounces good quality white rum
  • 1/2 ounce blue curaçao
  • 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon super fine sugar, like caster sugar
  • 10 large mint leaves, torn plus a sprig to garnish for each glass
  • Splash or two of club soda

Instructions

  1. Add the mint leaves and sugar to a cocktail shaker with a splash of the lime juice, and muddle until the mint leaves are slightly broken down.

  2. Pour in the rum, blue curaçao and fill the cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Shake well for at least 15 seconds (to make sure the sugar disperses evenly).

  3. Pour the mixture into ice-filled glasses and top with a splash of club soda. Enjoy with a mint garnish.

Notes

Don't over-muddle: If you muddle the mint too much, it will break down and release a bitter flavor. You simply want to gently muddle to release the oils for a subtle mint flavor. 

What to do if you don't have a muddler: A muddler is essential to making a mojito in order to extract the flavor from the mint and dissolve the sugar. A wooden spoon is probably the best alternative. You can also use any kind of wooden dowel or even a traditional mortar and pestle.

No Blue Curaçao? Sub with Cointreau or Triple Sec and a few drops of blue food coloring to get that rich blue color.

Make it for a crowd: Multiple the recipe quantities by 5 or 6, and follow the same procedure, except use a pitcher instead of a cocktail shaker. Stir everything together, then when you're ready to serve, pour into individual glasses and top with club soda. Make sure to stir/shake well just before serving, as the ingredients may separate.
