blood orange mojito recipe for Thanksgiving

Blood Orange Mojito: A Thanksgiving Cocktail

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces quality white rum
  • 1.5 ounces fresh Blood Orange juice
  • 1 ounce key lime juice
  • .5 ounce simple syrup
  • 5-6 fresh mint leaves
  • thin slice of a Blood Orange for garnish

Instructions

  1. Muddle the mint with the simple syrup in a cocktail shaker with a strainer, then add the remainder of the ingredients, ice and shake 15-20 seconds.

  2. Pour in your favorite shallow glass, add a cube or two of ice (the bigger, the slower it melts) and top with a thin slice of a Blood Orange. 

  3. If you prefer to go a little more traditional mojito-esque, add a splash of club soda. 

  4. Gently lay the orange slice on top.
