Frozen Mojito Pie

Frozen Mojito Pie, my, oh, my… I was looking for a dessert to make for company this coming weekend with just the right summertime taste. I ran across a recipe for a Frozen Mojito Pie that seemed to require a bit of tweaking, but with a few changes it turned out just right – cool and refreshing and just a little tartness from the lime compliments the sweetness of the rest of the ingredients. Guess I’ll have to make another one for this weekend, ’cause I’m pretty sure this one will be gone by then…

Kiwi Mojitos

Why not? We love kiwi and we love mojitos, so why not a kiwi mojito? We experimented with this one a couple of times before coming up with this combination. If you like your mojitos sweeter, add a little more agave nectar or add 1/2 tsp. sugar to the mint leaves and agave sugar when you muddle. Kiwis add a few little seeds to the mix when you puree them, so be sure to strain or partially the mixture while pouring in a glass if you don’t care for the seeds. Enjoy!

Frozen Berry Mojito

Nothing can beat the taste of a well made Classic Mojito, but during our recent trip to St. Maarten, we enjoyed a Wild Berry Mojito at Mary’s Boon that was totally different and really, really good! Turns out the bartender at Mary’s Boon won an award for the beverage but wouldn’t divulge the complete recipe. It was berrylicious and we could certainly taste a bit of lime and mint, but it was frozen – more like a daiquiri. When we returned home, we thought we would try to capture the flavors present in that scrumptious Wild Berry Mojito.

We tweaked some ingredients to our liking and ended up with the following recipe, and although not quite as amazing as the one we had in St. Maarten, it’s pretty tasty! Perhaps the incredible view of Simpson Bay at Mary’s Boon had something to do with it?

Print Recipe

Frozen Berry Mojito

Servings:

Ingredients

1 c Fresh Berries of Choice (we used blueberries and blackberries for this batch)
1/2 Lime (juiced)
1 tbsp Mint Infused Simple Syrup (see recipe below)
2 oz White Rum
1 c Ice (if using frozen berries, you can either omit the ice or use less than a cup)
Sprig of Mint

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a blender with the ice.
Blend until smooth and garnish with a sprig of mint.

Notes

Mint Infused Simple Syrup
Mix 1/2 cup water with 1/2 cup sugar in a saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolves. Then let it steep with a handful of mint leaves for an hour or so. Strain out the leaves and store in the fridge till you’re ready to use it.

Possible Variations
Change up the type of berries (strawberry, raspberry) to change the taste
Use frozen berries and slightly decrease the ice
Add more simple syrup if you like a sweeter drink or when using berries that are not as sweet
