Mojitos by the Pitcher

This was my first attempt on making a mojito and after all the sites I went to I finally gave up and just picked this one. It's amazing I haven't had a mojito this good in a while. It's easy quick and delicious. I used 1 1/2 cups of captain Morgan white rum. Good stuff :D

Great recipe, easy and pretty consistent. It only fills 6 servings if using small glasses though. For tall glasses, you'll want to make a couple pitchers.

Every year when the weather warms up, we have a Cuban party. I made another recipe the first year (I had a by the glass recipe), and between making mojitos and the Cuban sandwiches, I spent all my time in the kitchen. I found this recipe last year, and I simplified my life. I doubled the recipe so to fit our 2 liter pitcher, and muddled the mint and sugar ahead of time, enough for four pitchers. I really do prefer the actual sugar as opposed to the simple syrup recipes, and this one is just perfect. Take my advice and make them ahead if you are serving a crowd. You won't regret it.

This is the best mojito recipe I have tried. I like the club soda instead of lemon lime soda because they aren't too sweet and I can make it easily with my Soda Stream. I used raw sugar instead of white sugar. The perfect pitcher on a hot Florida day.

So easy and delicious! I doubled the recipe for a neighborhood bbq and they were fantastic. If you make ahead add the club soda when pouring into glasses to keep it bubbly as club soda goes flat quickly.

Awesome Recipe!!

It was pretty good, a little too sweet for me. Next time I will do about half the sugar and a little more liquor. It was also better the next day. I recommend making it the day prior to drinking

Made this for a group of friends at the cottage and it was a hit! I used sprite for a base, and added more rum, lime juice, and sprite just to polish off ingredients. It was still a bit too sweet for some. It would still be good with less sugar.

I thought the proportions were perfect but the steps needed some tweaking. For me it worked better muddling the mint (I used 6 whole sprigs) with the sugar and the juice of 2 limes. I cut the third lime into wedges, and gave them a squeeze before tossing them in. Then added the rum and seltzer and stirred.

Super simple, very good.

These were great! I didn’t have club soda, so I substituted Sprite Zero. I had to cut the sugar back by 1/2 to accommodate the sub.

Awesome mojito's! I'm one of those people who wasn't a huge fan of mojito's...the "squeeze", however, loves them! So happy I found this recipe as now we both enjoy when we make up a pitcher! I made the recipe exactly as posted.

Made this just as the recipe says, for our supper group, and everyone loved it! Wouldn't change a thing!

Really good! I used McCracken dark spiced rum and muddled sweet mint, chocolate mint, peppermint and spearmint leaves from my mojito/tea mint pot. Next time I will make with. 5 to. 75 cup sugar because I like a little less sweet mojito. So much easier than asking by the glass.

Wonderful recipe, easy, refreshing and a lot easier to make for a crowd. We enjoyed these immensely and will make them again!

Delicious! For my diabetic bf I subbed Truvia for half the sugar and used Zaya rum, and it was delicious! Probably tastes even better with all sugar. Because I had to pack it to our outdoor activity in 100 degree weather, I made the mix minus the club soda the night before, then mixed it by the glass. That worked quite well.

Made as written first then made the second pitcher with raw demerara sugar, and added extra rum. Both were a delicious hit!

This recipe is sooo good! We used 1/3 cup sugar since we don't like drinks too sweet and it was perfect! Wish I had one right now!

I was about to slam this because of how sweet it is, but realized my limes were still sitting on the counter. Its very tasty once the limes were added.

So easy - the only problem is that it really doesn’t make enough. I’ve made them a few times now and I almost always omit the rum (my parents don’t drink) and add some extra club soda. I make two pitchers (at least) with fresh mint from my garden a few hours before company comes, and then let them chill in the fridge until serving.

Just right! Also good with a few added raspberries

Made this for a family lunch and it was AMAZING. I used sugar-free Strawberry soda instead of club soda and it was so good. The combination of Strawberry, Lime, and Mint was the key. Oh, and I also used Malibu Coconut Rum.

I made this recipe for my friends. Unsurprisingly, I nailed it. Surprisingly, however, my friends found the process laborious and the drink tasteless. If i were to go back, I would change everything. I will be recommending this to my friends.

I did a 1/3 cup sugar to cut the sweet. Very tasty!

Had to modify it a bit to fit my pitcher and I don't usually keep club soda on hand. 36 mint leaves 3 limes 1 cup simple sugar 2 cups water Add water or alcohol as needed to taste.

Good base but I’d do 1 1/2 to 2 cups rum.

Best Mojito recipe I've tried :)

Good stuff right here! I used Bacardi Limon Rum and doubled the recipe which made almost a gallon. Make ahead and take with you to an event for EASY Mojitos!

I’ve been looking for a recipe to make a whole batch of mojitos and this was perfect! It was just like the traditional mojito recipe I’ve always made but so much easier to make a whole pitcher at once rather than one at a time. The only downfall is that I ended up having to make 3 1/2 batches because they were such a hit!

This is my go-to recipe for mojitos, so easy and delicious! I always double the recipe and after pouring into glass I will top off with a little lemon-lime soda, not much. Everyone loves these, even anti-mojito drinkers!

I used tonic water instead. wonderful refreshing drink

Great easy recipe for 3 to 4 people. Everyone loves it. I added an extra 1/2 cup of rum -could probably add more.

Also my first attempt at making mojitos... I used the coconut Bacardi Rum instead and it was an instant hit!! Everyone loved it, definitely making this one again.

Completely delicious and simple!

Simple easy recipe.The Mojitos came out great! Not too sweet, and very refreshing over ice on a hot summer evening. It's definitely a keeper!

Very good and easy recipe. Would not change a thing!

I decided to juice most of the limes because I feared too much rind would make the drink bitter tasting.

Fabulous as written, exactly what I was looking for! This recipe didn't specify what kind of rum to use but other mojito recipes used white rum so I did as well.

Refreshing and easy to make! I have used vodka when out of rum and it was good. I accidentally used oriental apple flavored vodka before and it was surprisingly very good!

It was way too sweet for my tastes. The sugar overwhelmed the lime and mint. Next time I will cut the sugar by 1/3 or 1/2.

Perfect!

Excellent recipe—great proportion recommendations, especially in regards to the amount of mint. I must admit, however, that I doubled the amount of alcohol to two cups and did not find it overpowering. Some may think there is too much sugar, in which case they can just use a little less than recommended. However, considering it makes an entire pitcher, one 1/2 cup is not an overwhelming amount of sugar. Additionally, the steps could be a little revamped; I find the mint flavour (Canadian here) is absorbed better when it is ground up with the juice of the limes in addition to the sugar.

I want to make this but need to buy the Rum. Do I buy the light or the dark rum?

I don't drink mojitos but we hosted a party for my husbands boss and he requested mojitos. I followed the recipe and everone said it came out outstanding! Thank you!

Perfect!

Simple and wonderful

Awesome! Everyone loved including me and I am not a mojito person!

This recipe is soooo good. I doubled it and used mango Bacardi rum. Everyone raved about it and wanted the recipe. it was perfect.

Best mojito recipe. My husband did a big thumbs up

Good recipe. A nice change from so-sweet margaritas. The only thing I'd did differently is use my KitchenAid mixer to do the muddling! You'll need to cover the mixer head with a cup towel while muddling the lines or juice will go everywhere. Pour the ice and run in and stir. Pour all into a pitcher and serve.

Super Yummy!!!

I like club soda much better than lemon-lime soda, it cuts the sweetness. I also make simple syrup and keep in fridge but if you are making it 'by the glass' this recipe can't be beat!

Simply delicious and easy recipe.

This is the BEST Mojito I've every made. A question though, can the club soda be replaced with champagne? Thank you for sharing your recipe.

Best mojito recipe. My husband did a big thumbs up

refreshing and delicious

We enjoyed the drink we need to use less mint

This is a great recipe. Made it on two occasions and will definitely make it again.

Made these yesterday, because I had a few girlfriends coming over for an afternoon get together. They were absolutely delicious! Not too sweet and very refreshing. A perfect summertime drink. We polished off the pitcher in a couple of hours, and I received many compliments. I followed the recipe exactly, except that the only white rum I had on hand was infused with lemon, but that seemed to work out just fine. This is now going to be my go-to make-ahead cocktail for casual summer gatherings.

Delicious and easy to prepare.

Delicious! Take your time muddling the mint and sugar, it’s worth it!

Recipe was right on. The only changes i made were just a little less sugar and a little more rum. Cheers!!

So easy and delicious. Thanks for sharing!

Made this 3 times. Can always use more lime and mint. If you don't have a muddler, try a potato masher. Works wonderfully!

This was good. The only thing I would say is don't leave the limes in the pitcher too long or they will make your drink bitter.

Followed the recipe to a T, and it is fantastic! Thank you.

Followed exactly, delicious & perfect amount! Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely delicious! I only added 1/4 cup of white sugar though and it was still pretty sweet.

DELICIOUS!!!!!!Better with the raw sugar in my opinion

Tastes great. I followed the recipe but didn't use as much lime or mint as directed, although I did quarter 2 limes and halved and juiced 1 more and dropped it in the mix - used maybe 20-25 leaves. I recommend not muddling the mint in the sugar too hard because it shreds the mint into tiny bits that get stuck all over your mouth. I also used some rum in my sugar and mint to rinse out the bowl and then pour into the pitcher. Happy drinking all!!

Saved for my son and he and everyone at his party sent cheers,he added a little more lime in the other pitchers he made.They were all very happy.

Awesome recipe. I added a little less sugar on the second pitcher.

I bought some half gallon mason jars and made this recipe. I brought 3 jars to a Bbq and they were gone in a flash! Half gallon serves about 5-6 give or take (depending on cup size).

Love it. Delicious and refreshing

Easy and yummy
