About the Cocktail Recipe 'Borrowed Time'

The 'Borrowed Time' cocktail is a delicious and refreshing drink that is perfect for a summer gathering or a cozy night at home. This cocktail is a twist on a classic mojito, with a unique combination of ingredients that will wow your taste buds.

The 'Borrowed Time' cocktail starts with a base of fresh mint leaves and lime juice, which are muddled together to release their flavors. This creates a refreshing and aromatic base for the cocktail. Then, simple syrup is added to sweeten the drink slightly, balancing out the tartness of the lime juice.

Next, rum is added to the mix. The rum adds a rich and smooth flavor to the cocktail, making it both enjoyable to sip on its own and a great base for other flavors. Finally, club soda is added to give the cocktail a fizzy and bubbly texture. The club soda also helps to lighten the drink, making it a perfect choice for a hot summer day.

How to Make the 'Borrowed Time' Cocktail

To make the 'Borrowed Time' cocktail, start by gathering all of your ingredients. You will need fresh mint leaves, limes, simple syrup, rum, and club soda. Make sure to have a muddler, a cocktail shaker, and a jigger or measuring cup on hand.

Begin by placing a handful of mint leaves and the juice of one lime in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Use the muddler to gently crush the mint leaves and lime juice together, releasing their flavors. Be careful not to over-muddle, as this can make the drink taste bitter.

Next, add 1 ounce of simple syrup and 2 ounces of rum to the cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 10 seconds to chill the ingredients and mix them together.

Finally, strain the cocktail into a glass filled with ice. Top with club soda and garnish with a sprig of mint and a slice of lime, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
