FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Yes you can. You should be able to double it using a gallon-sized pitcher.
White rum is used here. My personal preference is Bacardi Superior but other types of white rum that you can use include Bacardi Silver, Cruzan Light Rum and Mount Gray Silver Rum.
This is an essential part of Mojitos so yes I suggest that you muddle your mint as it releases flavor into your drink. If you don’t have a drink muddler, then you can crush it with a wooden spoon.
In a sauce pan put in equal amounts of sugar and water. Stir very well and bring mixture to a gentle boil and continue boiling and stirring until mixture is clear. Allow to cool before using.
If you want to make these “virgin” cocktails then just leave out the rum and use a “rich simple syrup” which is two parts sugar to one part water. Gently boil until clear.
This pitcher can be placed (covered) in the refrigerator and it should last for up to 3 days.
