How to Make a Cherry Mojito Dec 1st 2012, 20:00 You can enjoy a mojito made from either fresh or frozen cherries. The drink will have a vibrant red color and a bit of a citrus tang from the lime juice. Edit Ingredients Cherry mojito on the rocks Servings: 1 6 fresh cherries, washed and pitted, stems removed 2 tsp (10ml) light honey 4 leaves of fresh mint Squeeze of fresh lime juice 2 oz (60ml) light rum Splash of club soda Ice cubes Frozen cherry mojito Servings: 6 1 cup (200g) sugar 1 cup (240ml) water 3 limes, zested and juiced 1 lb (450g) frozen pitted cherries 3 cups ice, crushed 1/2 cup (45g) mint leaves 1 cup (240ml) white rum Edit Steps Cherry mojito on the rocks When cherries are in season, this drink is perfect for a late summer afternoon. The honey infuses the mojito with a bit of sweetness in the place of simple syrup. Place the cherries, honey and fresh mint leaves in an old-fashioned glass. Press the ingredients with a muddler until the cherries release their juices. Add the squeeze of fresh lime juice, the light rum and the club soda. Add 3 or 4 ice cubes and then serve the drink with a garnish of mint leaves and a fresh cherry. Frozen cherry mojito For a frozen treat at any time of the year, create a lime-infused simple syrup and blend it with fresh cherries, ice and white rum. You can skip the alcohol in this recipe and still have a delicious dessert. Combine the sugar, water, lime juice and lime zest in a small saucepan. Cook and stir the sugar mixture with a spoon for 5 minutes over medium heat until the sugar has completely dissolved, creating a lime-infused simple syrup. Set the saucepan aside and allow the syrup to come to room temperature. Place the simple syrup, frozen cherries, ice, mint leaves and white rum in a blender. Close the lid and blend the mixture until it is smooth. Pour each serving into an old-fashioned glass, garnishing with fresh cherries and lime wedges. Edit Tips If you make the lime-infused simple syrup ahead of time, then you'll need to store it in a sealed container inside your refrigerator. Consider using organic or locally-grown cherries for the best flavor and minimal pesticides (cherries tend to be heavily sprayed). If you don't like the flavor of light rum, then you can substitute vodka in either recipe.
