Frohito
Mojito variant
4 oz
Often referred to as silver or white, these rums are actually lightly aged (1-3 years), but have had their color removed by charcoal filtering. They are molasses based (as opposed to the cane juice-based rhum agricole, clairin, or cachaça). Flavors range from light (Bacardi, Caña Brava, Plantation 3 Star, El Dorado 3) to more flavorful (Probitas, Ten-To-One).
1 oz
The second most common juice used in cocktails. This citrus juice is about 6% acid; 4% from citric and 2% from malic, with small amounts of succinic acid (this is what gives it a little bloody taste). Lime juice should be used the day it is squeezed, some like it freshly squeezed and others like it a few hours old.
1 oz
A simple syrup made with the addition of mint leaves. This isn't that common since the mint flavor fades quickly and degrades with heat.
1 sprig
Aromatic plants used in cocktails as a garnish or muddled into the liquor to add a light fresh taste. Common in the Mint Julep.
Serves 2. Pre-chill two good-sized cocktail glasses. Put 1/4 oz mint syrup at the bottom of each glass. Set glasses aside. Blend rum and lime with 2 cups crushed ice until smooth. Carefully pour an equal amount into the two glasses, piling the frappe up in the glass. Top each with an additional 1/4 oz mint syrup. Garnish each with a small mint sprig. #batch #blend #ontherocks
