“If you get dealt lemons in life, then you should make lemon-lavender mojitos!” Deborah aka Rebecca’s Mom aka Ted Lasso Season 2: The Signal (my favorite episode so far). What a fantastic idea, let’s make it.
Traditionally, mojitos use lime juice, but I am so curious about what Rebecca’s mom sees with this lemon-lavender mojito. Nevertheless, mojitos are refreshing perfect as the seasons are beginning to change. I will have to say this change to a classic cocktail could be awesome and I have a couple of ideas to make her version of this analogy come true. See what I do below:
Method
Combine rum, simple syrup, lemon juice, and mint leaves in a cold cocktail shaker.
Shake thoroughly and place in a tall ice glass.
Top with club soda
Garnish with mint and lime wheel
Ingredients
2 oz Light Rum
1 oz infused simple syrup (see below)
.75 oz lemon juice
5-8 muddled mint leaves
3 oz club soda
Optional: Splash of Creme de Violette
Garnish with a bouquet of mint leaves and lime wheel
