How to Make A Pitcher Of Mojitos
- **Make the Simple Syrup:** In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely and the syrup becomes clear. This takes about 2-3 minutes.
- **Infuse with Mint:** Remove from heat and add 1 cup of packed fresh mint leaves. Cover and let steep for 10 minutes to infuse the syrup with minty flavor.
- **Strain the Syrup:** Strain the simple syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a heat-safe container, discarding the mint leaves. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- **Prepare the Mojito Pitcher:** In a large pitcher, combine 1 cup white rum, 1 cup fresh lime juice (about 8-10 limes), and ½ cup of the prepared mint simple syrup.
- **Chill (Optional):** Refrigerate the mojito mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but recommended.
- **Assemble Your Mojitos:** Fill a rocks glass with ice. Squeeze a lime wedge over the ice and drop it into the glass along with 4-5 fresh mint leaves.
- **Pour and Top:** Fill the glass two-thirds full with the chilled mojito mixture. Top with club soda.
- **Garnish and Serve:** Garnish with an extra lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately and enjoy!
