I am a food enthusiast living in Northeastern Ohio. Having lived in several states, before landing in Ohio, I have experienced many different food cultures. My belief is that food nourishes our bodies, hearts and minds. Food brings people together, there is nothing better than enjoying a good meal with family and friends. That being said, I have stacks of recipes from over the decades in 3-ring binders, old cookbooks and digital recipes on my computer. My original thought was to catalog all of them on my computer and get rid of the binders and such. My next thought was to share them. If they are on this website, they were worth sharing I hope you enjoy them as much as we do! (I will try my best to credit the original creator/author of the recipe if I can).
A vibrant blue version of the classic mojito cocktail. The color comes from blue curaçao, which also adds a bit of orange flavor.

A vibrant blue version of the classic mojito cocktail. The color comes from blue curaçao, which also adds a bit of orange flavor. 

Ingredients:

5 Mint leaves (plus sprig for garnish)

1/2 oz Simple syrup

1/2 oz Lime juice

1 1/2 oz Rum

1/2 oz Blue Curaçao

Ice

Club Soda

Lime wheel (optional garnish)

Instructions:

Add mint leaves and simple syrup to a highball glass. Muddle them together (no more than six gentle turns and presses with the muddler).

Add the lime juice, rum, and blue curaçao. Stir.

Add ice, then top off with club soda. Gently stir.

Garnish and enjoy!

Tips:

Rum – Mojitos call for light rum. You can substitute coconut or pineapple flavored rum for even more tropical flavor. 

Simple Syrup – You can use homemade simple syrup (1:1 water to sugar) or store-bought. 

Lime Juice – Be sure to use freshly squeezed lime juice. Bottled has preservatives that negatively alters the flavor. 

Blue Curaçao – This orange flavored liqueur gives the drink its blue color. 

Mint – Fresh mint is essential to any mojito.
