Ninja Slushi Mojito

They said a mojito couldn't be done in the Ninja Slushi, and baby, I've proven them wrong. I’ve already done the trial-and-error for you, you don't need to test out anything. I've got you. This recipe is smooth, consistent, and hits every single time. Yep, I use fresh mint, real limes, and everything you need to make this taste like vacation!

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 15-20 fresh mint leaves This was 1 package for me.
  • ½-3/4 cup sugar sweetener Adjust to taste. ¾ cup is going to make the drink sweet.
  • ¾ cup rum
  • ½ cup lime juice This was 4 small limes for me.
  • 3 cups water Divided into ½ cup and 2 ½ cups

Instructions

  • Add your mint leaves and sugar or sweetener to the bottom of the glass: Use fresh, clean leaves, no brown spots. Leave the stems out if you can.
  • Use a muddler (or the end of a wooden spoon) to gently press. Place the muddler or spoon on top of the mint and give it a slow, firm press. Continue to press and muddle. Once you can really smell that fresh mint aroma, you’re done.
  • Create a mint simple syrup. Add ½ cup of water to the mixture and stir until the sugar or sweetener has fully dissolved. You can also do this on the stove in a saucepan on low heat. I didn't find it necessary to do so.
  • Strain the mixture. Use a mesh strainer or cheese cloth to strain the mint leave. I pour the simple syrup directly into the rum I'm using for the recipe. Add the lime juice here as well. Stir to combine.
  • Load up the Ninja Slushi. Add the rum mixture and 2 ½ cups of water to the Ninja Slushi. Be sure not to exceed 64oz. Prepare the drink in batches if necessary. Power on the machine and press Spiked Slush.
  • Prepare the slushi. Allow the machine to churn and freeze the mixture until the machine beeps to signal the cycle is finished. You can adjust the thickness of the mixture using the side panel. The drink should take 20-45 minutes. Mine took 25 minutes.
  • Serve. Pull the lever on the spout to dispense the drink. Serve.

Notes

I use monkfruit instead of refined sugar. Standard refined table sugar still works in this recipe.
