Open in Pepper →Rum, Lime, And A Handful Of Mint
A good rum drink is mostly three things: rum, something sour, something sweet. Once you know that, you can stop buying mixes and start making the version you actually like.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when friends are coming over on short notice, when the grill is going, or when it's Friday and they want one nice cold drink without hauling out a bar's worth of bottles.
Every recipe here is built from what's already on the shelf — a Rum Runner with pineapple juice and grenadine, a three-rum Rum Punch, frozen Strawberry Daiquiris, a Blueberry Pineapple Daiquiri, and mojitos from the plain classic to the Butterfly Pea Flower and Mulberry versions.
Quick Tips
- 1
Press the mint, don't shred
Muddle 8 to 10 mint leaves with gentle pressure for about 10 seconds. Tearing them up releases bitterness and leaves green flecks in your glass.
- 2
Squeeze the limes fresh
One medium lime gives about 1 tablespoon of juice, so plan on two limes per pair of drinks. Bottled juice tastes flat next to it.
- 3
Make simple syrup ahead
Stir 1 cup sugar into 1 cup hot water until clear, then chill. It keeps 3 to 4 weeks in the fridge and mixes in far better than raw sugar.
- 4
Freeze the fruit first
For daiquiris, use 1 to 2 cups of frozen strawberries or blueberries instead of ice so the drink stays thick and doesn't water down.
