Lime and Mint Infused Rum for Mojitos
Upgrade your next mojito with this lime and mint infused rum. It’s an easy recipe to make - the hard part is waiting for the flavors to infuse!
Ingredients
- 12 oz white rum
- 2 limes
- ⅓ cup fresh mint
- A pint mason jar with an airtight lid
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash the limes.
- Using a vegetable peeler, carefully peel the lime. You want to peel off the green rind, but not the white pith underneath.
- Place the lime peels and the washed, fresh mint leaves in a clean, pint mason jar.
- Fill the jar to the top with your favorite white rum.
- Tightly cover the jar and put it in a cool, dark place - like a pantry or cupboard.
- Let the jar sit for 7 days, gently swirling the jar every day or two.
- After 7 days, strain the lime peel and mint out of the rum. Discard the lime peel and mint.
- Enjoy the rum!
Notes
Note: Do not use dark rum or spiced rum for this infusion.
