Tasting Notes

The Frozen Lemonade Mojito is cool, tart, and super refreshing. White rum gives it a light, smooth base, while lime juice brings a sharp citrus edge. Lemonade adds a bit of sweetness and a crisp finish. Mint gives it that classic mojito freshness without being overpowering. Blended with ice, it turns into a smooth, slushy drink that’s perfect for warm weather. It’s bright, slightly sweet, and chilled all the way through. You get a burst of mint and citrus with every sip, and the rum keeps it light but noticeable.

Equipment and Glassware

You’ll need a blender to get the frozen texture right. A jigger helps with measuring out your rum, lime juice, and lemonade. A citrus press makes it easy if you’re using fresh lime juice. Serve this in a highball or stemless wine glass something with room for a thick, slushy pour. A spoon or straw is nice for sipping and stirring. Use a knife or peeler for prepping the lime wheel garnish. This drink’s all about cold, fresh flavor, so use a chilled glass if you want to go the extra mile.
