I LOVE a good Mojito Cocktail and while I’m a huge fan of the classic recipe, I always love a fun twist as well. This Blood Orange Mojito<\/strong> is simple to make and such a great way to enjoy blood orange season!<\/p>\n

It’s been FAR TOO LONG since I posted a new cocktail recipe and you’re going to love this one!<\/p>\n

Mojitos are EASILY one of my favorite cocktails to make at home and while I usually enjoy them during the summer when I have fresh mint growing in my garden, I couldn’t help this blood orange flavored mojito while it’s still citrus season.<\/p>\n

What you’ll need:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Blood Orange Simple Syrup<\/strong>– the simple syrup recipe is down below and consists of water, sugar, mint, and blood orange juice. If you’re looking to make the syrup with something other than cane sugar, I have a whole post about making simple syrup<\/a> using maple syrup, honey, coconut sugar and more!<\/li>\n
  2. White Rum<\/strong>– mojitos are traditionally made with white rum.<\/li>\n
  3. Lime juice<\/strong>– another traditional ingredient in a mojito, lime juice adds a delicious freshness to this cocktail!<\/li>\n
  4. Blood orange juice<\/strong>– If you can’t find these or it’s no longer blood orange season, you can easily swap this for a different citrus juice such as grapefruit or orange juice.<\/li>\n
  5. Mint<\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. Club soda<\/strong>– love a mojito with club soda but you can also swap this for sparkling water or even ginger beer!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Making this cocktail is as simple as muddling together the mint, rum, lime and blood orange juice for about a minute. This helps release all of the flavor from the mint!<\/p>\n

    Next simple add in the simple syrup and some ice and shake until the cocktail is combined and nicely chilled.<\/p>\n

    Strain into a tall glass filled with ice and then top with club soda! So simple but SO so delicious!<\/p>\n
