Mojito!

There's a recipe for a frozen Mojito in my Ninja cookbook.  I grew mint this summer just so I could make Mojitos, but I hadn't thought to make them in the Ninja.  I've been making them like this - without all the fancy stuff: (and I just remembered I should have bought club soda when I went shopping yesterday)




Anyway tonight I tried the Ninja recipe - only I mixed it up and then put it into the freezer to get/stay all slushy, like the Cranberry Daiquiri Slush I've been making this summer.


Frozen Mojito 

Ingredients 
  • 2 Limes, Juiced 
  • 10-12 Mint Leaves 
  • 2 OZ. Simple Syrup* 
  • 6 OZ. White Rum 
  • 2 Cups Ice cubes 
Instructions 
  1. Add all ingredients into the pitcher and use long pulses until well blended. 
  2. Serve in 2 tall rocks glasses, garnish with mint. 
*Combine 4 Tbsp Sugar and 4 Tbsp Water in saucepan on warm stove until sugar dissolves.

I'm not sure how I'm going to serve it up - probably need that club soda to mix with the slush...

I did taste it, once it had frozen and I scraped it from the glass dish I had it in originally and put it into a plastic container with a lid - less worry that it will get knocked out of the freezer and shatter on the tile floor making a huge mess and not allowing me to enjoy my mojito!  It tasted quite good.  I think I'm going to enjoy this quite a bit!
