How to Make Mojito Limeade
- **Make the Lime-Mint Syrup:** In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved (about 1 minute).
- **Infuse with Flavor:** Remove from heat and stir in the zest of 2 limes and 1 cup of packed fresh mint leaves. Let sit for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- **Strain and Chill:** Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill completely.
- **Muddle & Mix:** In a large pitcher, gently muddle 1 cup of fresh mint leaves and the juice of 4 limes with 4 cups of crushed ice.
- **Combine Ingredients:** Add the chilled lime-mint syrup (reserve some for later if desired), 1 cup of white rum (or to taste), and more crushed ice to the pitcher.
- **Top it Off:** Top with chilled club soda to taste, stirring gently to combine.
- **Serve & Enjoy:** Pour the Mojito Limeade into glasses filled with crushed ice. Garnish each glass with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint.
- **Optional:** Add a splash of sparkling water for extra fizz.
