This traditional Cuban cocktail is bright and refreshing, the perfect antidote to a sweltering summer day. We saved time by using frozen limeade for the base, but we’ve added freshly squeezed lime juice and mint leaves for an infusion of authentic flavor. It is served over lots of ice and finished with seltzer for those refreshing bubbles. When choosing fresh mint, look for leaves that are bright green with crisp leaves and no signs of wilting. Note that peppermint has a bolder, more pungent flavor than milder-flavored spearmint. For a Rosy Mojito, swap thawed frozen cranberry juice concentrate for the limeade.

Meal Items 12 oz frozen limeade concentrate, thawed 1 cup mint leaves, fresh, chopped (plus extra for garnish) 3 medium fresh limes, squeeze 2 tbsp juice and cut 8 wedges for garnish 4 cups ice cubes, crushed 8 fl oz rum, light-variety (white or silver rum; 1 cup) 16 fl oz seltzer, cold Instructions In a medium bowl, combine limeade concentrate, mint leaves, and lime juice. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours for mint to infuse its flavor; strain to remove any solids. When ready to serve, run a mint leaf around the rim of each glass; fill each glass about halfway with ice. To each glass, add 1-ounce rum, 1 1/2 ounces limeade mixture, and 1/4 cup seltzer. Stir in several mint leaves and garnish with a lime wedge. Serving Size: Yields 1 drink per serving!
