White Rum Mojito

Mojitos might just be the happiest hour hero we all need, especially when they’re packed with the crisp, clean kick of white rum. Perfect for those days when your lemonade feels too innocent and your iced tea too… well, tea.

Ingredients

• 2 oz white rum – because life’s too short for the dark stuff when you’re craving sunshine in a glass.
• 1 oz fresh lime juice – squeeze it yourself; bottled lime juice is the villain in this story.
• 2 tsp sugar – granulated, because we’re keeping it simple and sweet.
• 6-8 fresh mint leaves – the more, the merrier, but don’t turn it into a salad.
• Soda water to top off – the fizz that makes everything better.
• Ice – crushed, if you’re feeling fancy.

Instructions

1. In a sturdy glass, muddle the mint leaves and sugar together until the leaves are lightly bruised and the sugar starts to look like green fairy dust.
2. Add the lime juice and give it a quick stir to marry the flavors. Tip: Roll your limes before juicing to get every last drop.
3. Fill the glass halfway with ice, then pour in the white rum. This is where the magic starts.
4. Top off with soda water, leaving just enough room for a gentle stir to combine everything without losing the bubbles. Tip: Pour the soda water down the side of the glass to preserve the fizz.
5. Garnish with a sprig of mint and a lime wheel if you’re feeling extra. Tip: Slap the mint between your hands before adding to release its aromatic oils.

Bubbly, bright, and with just the right amount of boozy backbone, this White Rum Mojito is like a vacation in a glass. Serve it with a colorful straw and a side of sunset for maximum effect.

Piña Colada with White Rum

Oh, the Piña Colada with White Rum—it’s like a vacation in a glass, minus the sunburn and questionable souvenir choices. This tropical treasure is your ticket to paradise, blending creamy coconut, tangy pineapple, and a kick of rum that whispers sweet nothings to your taste buds.

Ingredients

• 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks (because fresh is great, but frozen keeps it frosty without diluting the fun)
• 1 cup coconut cream (the richer, the better—let’s not skimp on luxury)
• 1/2 cup white rum (go for a quality brand; your future self will thank you)
• 1 cup ice cubes (crushed is my jam for that smooth sipping experience)
• 1 tbsp lime juice (a little zing to balance the sweetness)
• Pineapple slices and maraschino cherries for garnish (because we eat with our eyes first, darling)

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the frozen pineapple chunks, coconut cream, white rum, ice cubes, and lime juice. Blend on high for 45 seconds or until the mixture is smooth and slushy. Tip: If it’s too thick, add a splash of pineapple juice to loosen it up.
2. Give it a quick taste test—adjust the lime juice or rum if needed. Remember, it’s easier to add more than to take it out! Tip: Always taste as you go; your palate is the best guide.
3. Pour the mixture into chilled glasses. This step is non-negotiable for that extra frosty vibe. Tip: Pop your glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving to keep the colada colder, longer.

Heat until it’s just about to simmer—you’ll see tiny bubbles forming around the edges, but don’t let it boil. This usually takes about 5 minutes. Tip: Keep an eye on it; apple cider has a sneaky way of boiling over when you’re not looking.
