Cherry-Mango Mojito

Iced down and filled with a mint simple syrup, mango rum, mashed bing cherries, mint leaves and a twist of lime.... it's like vacation in a glass really.

Prep Time 3 minutes
Total Time 3 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Bing Cherries, pitted and halved
  • 1/4 cup mint leaves
  • 1/2 small lime cut in half
  • 1 1/2 shots Mango Rum
  • 1 - 1 1/2 shots mint simple syrup**
  • Club Soda

Instructions

**Mint Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan bring 1 cup water and one cup sugar to a boil until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and toss in a handful of mint leaves. Let them steep for an hour or so, longer for a more intense mint flavor. Remove mint leaves and store syrup in a jar in the fridge.

Put the mint leaves and the cherries in the bottom of a glass. (I used a stemless wine glass) Muddle cherries and mint together with the back of a spoon. Squeeze in 1/2 of the lime, add to glass.

Fill glass with crushed ice.

Add in rum and simple syrup, top off with club soda. Stir.

Garnish with lime and mint leaves, and a cherry if desired.
