Life has been fairly busy lately! I admit, it’s been hard to keep track of all the things, like getting my blog post out. But I knew that this Mahia mojitos recipe was one that needed to be shared before <\/em>labor day weekend. Because it’s the perfect drink to sip on during the unofficial last weekend of summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This recipe is actually one from my dad. He originally found the recipe over on Food & Wine<\/a> and made some small changes of his own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this recipe he uses Mahia, a spirit made with figs\u2014you can snag a bottle here<\/a>. It was actually a present my husband and I bought him, and he’s been trying to get creative with drinks he can make with it. This Mahia mojitos recipe is one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mojitos are typically made with a white rum<\/strong>, so if you don’t have a bottle of Mahia, you can always swap it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"muddling<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Muddle the ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Using a muddler, squish down the mint leaves and simple syrup for a few seconds. This helps to pop out those flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"stirring<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mix together with liquid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stir together the lime juice and Mahia fig brandy (or white rum) with the muddled ingredients using a tall cocktail spoon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"pouring<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Top with club soda<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Top the last of the glass with some club soda\u2014at least 2 oz., but you can add more of it’s a bit too strong for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that’s it! Garnish with extra mint leaves, if desired, and sip away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
