Maple Mojito

Category: Recipes

1 cup 100% pure or organic Grade B maple syrup
1 cup packed fresh mint leaves plus 2 mint sprigs
Fresh lime juice
Light Rum
Club Soda

Heat syrup to a simmer in small saucepan. Remove from heat. Reserve 15 of the mint leaves. Add the remaining mint leaves to the syrup and let steep until cool (for a stronger mint taste - refrigerate and steep for up to 1 week), then strain.

In a cocktail shaker, muddle the 15 reserved mint leaves with 1 part lime juice and 1 part mint maple syrup. Add ice and 1 part rum. Shake well. Fill a highball glass with ice. Pour the drink into glass. Top off with Club soda. Garnish the drink with mint sprig. Serves 1.
