a reason to party - even if it's with yourself
over the past 12-18 months, i’ve really fallen in love with the mojito. it’s just that delicious. i’ve experimented with the recipe and i’ve finally settled on one that’s fabulous enough to share - and it deserves its own post. so…this recipe makes mojitos for a crowd. if you want to make a single mojito, a glass at a time, the best recipe is on the bacardi Godzilla vs. Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster trailer Doubt psp website (must be 21 to enter - LOL), but this is seriously the best way to make them…
jessie’s mojitos for a crowd
1 12-oz can frozen limeade
2 cups sugar
4 cups water
mix this together until the sugar dissolves, pour into a 1-gallon freezer bag. freeze overnight. (you don’t have to freeze this in advance if you don’t have time, but you won’t need to add ice to serve if you do it this way…)
you’ll also need:
1-2 bunches of fresh mint (don’t skip this ingredient - it’s a critical part of the mojito)
6 limes (or more if you want more)
1 fifth of bacardi white rum
1 2-liter bottle of diet sprite
1 1-liter bottle of club soda
remove the mint from the stems, discard any discolored leaves and put in the bottom of a large punchbowl. slice three limes into slices or small wedges and toss them in top of the mint. juice the other three limes into the bowl. using a large spoon or a potato masher, crush the mint, juice and limes together to release the flavor of the mint. when you are ready to serve, take the frozen limeade mix from the freezer and add it to the bowl, crushing it into a slush with the spoon or potato masher. add the rum, the sprite and the club soda and stir well. make sure you have a designated driver and ENJOY!!
you can add strawberries or raspberries for a twist if you’d like. and if you want to make it non-alcoholic (who would want to do that?), use 1-2 liters of ginger ale in place of the rum.
Stumble it!

Sounds like a drink I would like…and that is actually saying a lot since I can be quite “discriminating.”
ooohhhh I waaaant it
Jess well seeing how I belong to the 1 is to many and a vat would never be enough club.I’ll stick to the second option.I hope that you are haveing a great day, Big time hugs and god’s blessing to all.
that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
MMMM. Sounds refreshing! Just in time for summer!! Thanks!!
I love your Mojitos!!…But … Isn’t “a reason to party - even if it’s with yourself” the definition of an alcoholic??? … as I have another homebrew by myself.
Yum… From someone who has actually had this delicious drink… I say YUM.
mojitos for a crowd…. or a large glass for one! sounds yummy ’specially on a friday afternoon. [from the line "i've experimented with the recipe" - i was sure there would be mt. dew in there somewhere]
I am SO glad you posted this. I really really WANT to like mojitos, but I haven’t found one that I like yet. I’ll try this one for sure. I like the idea of adding berries.
I went to a party and they had fresh peach mojitos - they were so amazing. And STRONG. I don’t know what else were in those things, but it was the 1st time I’ve had to apologize for drunken behavior in a long, long time. It was embarrassing. But the drinks were good.
Do I get any credit for introducing you to the drink?? Even though yours kicks ass over mine now!
