I have slight obsession with champagne mojitos since I discovered them on the Soma menu last year. Their mojitos are fantastic. When summer comes around they do a house infused mojitos, where they infuse some type of fruit with rum and then drain it into your drink!
I just found this recipe from Food and Wine so you can enjoy them at home. Happy Friday!
Ingredients
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups packed mint leaves, plus 12 mint sprigs, for garnish
6 limes, cut into wedges
2 cups light rum
Cracked ice
3 cups Champagne or sparkling wine
DirectionsIn a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water and cook over high heat just until the sugar has dissolved. Let cool to room temperature. In a large pitcher, combine the sugar syrup with the mint leaves and lime wedges and muddle well with a wooden spoon. Add the rum and stir well. Strain the drink into another pitcher. Fill tall glasses with cracked ice and pour in the drink, filling them about two-thirds full. Top with Champagne, garnish with the mint sprigs and serve.
