Grapefruit Mint Mojito
A good mojito is one of our favorite drinks, and this grapefruit version is an amazing twist on the classic.
It's a little tangier than the standard, but also more refreshing, so it'll taste amazing on a hot, sunny day.
We picture you sipping one poolside, at a lovely garden party, or on your best friend's gorgeous roof deck...that you're really jealous of.
INGREDIENTS
- 10 fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cup crushed ice

- 1 ounce light rum
- splash club soda
DIRECTIONS
- Layer the bottom of a pint glass with mint and cover to the halfway point with crushed ice.
- Take a spoon and muddle the mint and ice together to release the flavor.
- Add grapefruit and mix in with ice.
- Pour rum over the fruity slush and top off with club soda.
- Garnish with a bright, ruby red slice of grapefruit.
WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
The refreshing cocktail often gets a bad rap for being filled with sugar, but we go easy on the sugar and make flavor magic with the muddle: Take extra care to really grind up that mint to extract the most flavor possible. Bonus: the grapefruit adds tartness and antioxidants.
