We combined two classics, the dark and stormy and the mojito, to create this delicious concoction, and used ginger syrup to give it just the right amount of heat.
Ingredients
6 fresh mint leaves
4 1/2 tsp ginger syrup
2 oz white rum
1 oz fresh lime juice
Instructions
TO make ginger syrup: Mix 1/3 cup chopped ginger with 1 cup granulated sugar with 1 cup water in a small pot. Boil for 1 min. Chill. Strain. (Keeps well, refrigerated, up to 2 weeks.)
MUDDLE mint and syrup in a shaker.
FILL with ice. Add rum and lime juice.
SHAKE, then pour into a tall glass. Garnish with candied ginger.
