Blood Orange Mojito: A Thanksgiving Cocktail

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

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
 

  • 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.
  • 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. 
  • If you prefer to go a little more traditional mojito-esque, add a splash of club soda. 
  • Gently lay the orange slice on top.
