Drink Recipe ∽ Dragon Fruit Mojito

This mojito kicks the traditional lime to the curb and replaces it with dragon fruit. To get a unique 'serving container' save the fruit outer peel and once the flesh is removed, use the empty halves as a beverage glass.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 teaspoons white sugar
• 16 leaves fresh mint
• 1 cup light rum
• 1 dragon fruit, halved and flesh removed
• 1 liter chilled club soda

Cooking Directions

1. Mix 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons sugar with mint in the bottom of a highball glass.
2. Combine rum and dragon fruit flesh in a blender; blend until smooth. Pour rum mixture over the muddled mint mixture. Stir to incorporate.
3. Divide mixture between 4 double old-fashioned glasses. Top each drink with equal amounts of club soda.
