Ginger Pineapple Mojito

David Venable

This fruity drinks looks as summery as it tastes. You'll love how well the mint, pineapple, and ginger flavors complement each other and yield such a refreshing flavor.

Syrup

  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup peeled and sliced fresh ginger

Directions

To prepare the syrup, bring the water, sugar, and ginger to a simmer in a small saucepan. When the sugar has dissolved, remove the pan from the heat and chill. When the syrup has chilled, strain and discard the ginger.
To prepare the mojito, remove the stem ends from 2 of the limes and slice them into 1/8”-thick rounds. Cut the remaining lime into wedges. Place the lime rounds, mint leaves, pineapple chunks, and 1/4 cup of the ginger syrup into a serving pitcher.
Mash the lime and mint with a muddler or with the handle of a wooden spoon to release the juices and oils. Add the rum, pineapple juice, 1 additional cup of the ginger syrup, and club soda and stir. Fill each glass with ice and pour the mojito into each glass. Garnish with mint leaves and lime wedges.

Mojito

  • 3 limes, divided
  • 1 cup loosely packed mint leaves, plus additional for garnish
  • 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks, defrosted
  • 1 cup rum
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 cup club soda
  • Ice

Cook's Notes

For virgin Mojitos, omit the rum and double the suggested amount of club soda. You can also make the simple syrup in advance and refrigerate for up to a week beforehand.
