Prichard's Muddled Mojito - J says "delicious, refreshing, sweetly round on the palette" - ok :)
2 oz. Prichard's Crystal Rum
3 Lime Wedges
3 Lemon Wedges
5 to 8 Fresh Mint Leaves
1 oz. Simple Syrup
Place lime wedges, lemon wedges and simple syrup in a glass. When muddling, press ingredients against the side of the glass making sure that only the pulp is pressed and not the rind of the limes and lemons. After muddling limes and lemons, add mint leaves and gently press to release oils but not mangling leaves. Add rum and shake gently for ten seconds. Fill glass with ice and pour mixture over ice and top with a little soda water.
PAMA Caipirinha - I cheated on this one...no mint, but I couldn't resist. It's not as good as the PAMA Mojito (4/29/2010), but it's pretty darn good. The mojito is a bit weaker and includes club soda, almost like drinking a cherry 7-up.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 oz. PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur
- 1 1/2 oz. Aqua Luca Brazilian Cachaca
- 3/4 oz. Simple Syrup
- 1/2 a Lime quartered
