WHAT KIND OF RUM SHOULD I USE?

- Bacardi Superior
- Capitan Morgan Caribbean White Rum
- Calypso Silver Rum
- Cruzan Aged White Rum
CAN I MAKE A LARGE BATCH PINEAPPLE MOJITO?
Yes, you can make this in a pitcher and follow all the directions besides adding the ice, I would reserve the ice for each glass that is filled.
Garnish the pitcher itself with lime slices and pineapple slices as well if you desire or add those to the glass themselves.
Just make sure that you muddle the lime and mint and add the liquid ingredients to the pitcher. The club soda will lose it’s fizz after sitting but it will still be added, otherwise pour over each glass.
CAN I USE FRESH PINEAPPLE?
Yes you absolutely can. The best way is if you have a juicer! Just run your cut pineapple through the juicer and use that, you will want 3/4 cup of pineapple juice.
You can also add the pineapple to a high powered blender with some water and strain. If it is too thick you will need to add some more water, process and strain again until it is juice consistency.
HOW TO STORE:
If you use fresh squeezed pineapple juice this needs to be consumed within 24 hours so if you do make a larger pitcher and not just single glasses cover and place in the refrigerator for that period of time.
TIPS AND TRICKS FOR MAKING A PINEAPPLE MOJITO:
- For a mocktail version, don’t add the rum.
- To pick the right pineapple, smell its base. If it smells sweet, that’s a good one. If not, the pineapple is probably not sweet enough.
- f you want to make it ahead, please note that freshly squeezed pineapple juice has to be consumed in 24 hours.
- And to keep the bubbles from the club soda, add it right before serving.
- Try with 7Up instead of classic club soda for an even more refreshing taste.
