I was fooling around with an idea I had for an ultimate mojito in the Rum Lab the other day, when I hit upon this recipe. I was looking for a premium mojito rather than another flavored one, so here is what came out of the efforts.First of all I had to choose a rum that fit the balance of the cocktail. It turned out to be from my friends at Diplomatico that provided the one that fit the profile of this cocktail. Next I needed to add a different twist to the mix so I replaced the club soda with another bubbly, Prosecco Italian Champagne, and of course a touch of St. Germain just as a finishing touch.
Bahama Bob's Ultimate Mojito- 2 oz. Diplomatico Blanco Rum
- 1 1/2 oz. Depaz Cane Syrup
- Juice of 1/2 Lime
- 1/2 Bar Spoon of St. Germain
- Prosecco Champagne
- 7 to 10 Fresh Mint Leaves
Place the lime juice, cane syrup, and mint leaves into a 12 oz. glass and muddle with a smooth wood muddler very lightly, fill glass with ice, add the rum and St Germain and shake until chilled. Top the glass with Prosecco Italian Champagne and garnish with a lime wheel and a mint sprig.This is a great version for the person that has become bored with the traditional Mojito. ;o)
