How to Make Champagne Mojitos
- **Make Simple Syrup:** In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool completely to room temperature.
- **Muddle Mint & Lime:** In a large pitcher, gently muddle 20-25 fresh mint leaves and 4 lime wedges with the cooled simple syrup using a wooden spoon or muddler. Avoid over-muddling, as this can make the drink bitter.
- **Add Rum:** Add 1 cup of white rum to the pitcher and stir well to combine.
- **Strain (Optional):** For a smoother mojito, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean pitcher. This step is optional.
- **Assemble Drinks:** Fill tall glasses with cracked ice. Pour the rum mixture into the glasses, filling them about two-thirds full.
- **Top with Champagne:** Top each glass with chilled Champagne.
- **Garnish & Serve:** Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and serve immediately. Enjoy responsibly!
- **Make Ahead Tip:** The mojito mixture (steps 1-4) can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Add the champagne just before serving.
