Notes

Makes 1 mojito. Double the recipe to make two mojitos.

Mango syrup: you can buy mango syrup or make your own. Note: my mango syrup was very light in color; depending on the mango syrup you use, yours may turn out more orange than the mojito pictured here.

To make mango syrup:

Add ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup water, and 1 chopped fresh ripe mango to a saucepan over medium heat.
Once the water starts a low boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, until the mango is soft.
Using a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl, strain the mango mixture, pressing down to extract as much of the juice as possible into the bowl.
Allow the mixture to cool, then pour into a jar or bottle. Refrigerate any leftovers after making the mojito for up to 2 weeks.
