Yeah.
Well this tastes much better the name sounds. In fact, by my own admission, it has a shit name.
Oh well - you have to try it.
I couldn't find a pineapple mojito recipe I liked on the net so I combined a bunch and changed things around.
I made this for my darling, who has been known to like his share of rum on occasion, and has a sweet tooth, particularly with pineapple.
Here is what I did.
Muddle mint and some pineapple chunks together.
Squeeze in a lime wedge.
Add a shot or two of rum. I used Bacardi.
Top up with half lemonade, half pineapple juice.
My husband tried a wee glass of this and he said it tasted pretty yum.
To make a big batch I chopped up a whole pineapple and added like 3 cups of mint leaves. I mushed them all up together. Then we added 1.8 liters of pineapple juice and 1.8 liters of lemonade to a large jug. Then we added 1 liter of Bacardi.
It was a hit!
The juice is sweet enough, so it means you don't need to add a syrup or sugar.
This is a sweet drink, but the mint mellows it out and the lime gives it a kick. Very refreshing and great for summer.
You could garnish with cucumber (except not for Rob, he detests cucumber) or add some mint leaves.
Make sure to serve it in a tall glass with plenty of ice, on a summer day, with pals. That is when it will be at its optimum.
Happy drinking!
