Grilled pineapple mojito

There's TONS of mint growing in our backyard, so clearly this is a sign that we need to make more mojitos.

Mojitos have it all going for them: citrus, herbs, bubbles + rum. It's kind of perfect, but you can always improve upon a classic. So this one has even more lime (in the form of simple syrup!) + grilled pineapples.

Sip on that.

Grilled pineapple mojito (per mojito)

• 3 cubes fresh pineapple

• 1 lime wedge

• 1 handful fresh mint

• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

• 1.5 oz. white rum

• 1 tablespoon lime simple syrup (recipe below)

• Lemon lime seltzer

1. Start by grilling the pineapple + lime. Heat a griddle pan on medium heat (or use an actual grill if you're fancy). Grill the pineapple + lime. Once you see grill marks you're there.

2. In a large glass add the mint + fresh lime juice. Muddle together.

3. Add the rum + simple syrup. Stir.

4. Add ice to the glass + top it all off with lemon lime seltzer.

Lime simple syrup

• 1/4 cup water

• 1/4 cup white sugar

• 1/2 lime (the whole thing!)

1. Combine water, white sugar + lime in a small saucepan. Heat on low.

2. Keep stirring until the sugar completely dissolves. Remove from the heat + cool.
