    Arugula Mojito

    Arugula might not be the first ingredient that comes to mind when making cocktails; however, I assure you that it’s peppery green flavor works perfectly in this refreshing mojito.  A handful of leafy arugula is muddled with bright lime juice and honey simple syrup, then shaken with woodsy gin.  Finished with a fragrant sprig of mint, this Arugula Mojito is a delightfully complex beverage perfect for a warm spring afternoon.  With each sip, you’ll get a pleasant noseful of mint – a slight nod to the classic mojito.  What are your favor springtime beverages?  Share your thoughts below plus get the Arugula Mojito recipe.

    Just for fun:  IS THAT A MOJITO?

    Arugula Mojito

    Barely adapted from here.
    Servings 1 cocktail
    Author Brandon Matzek

    Ingredients

    • Honey
    • Hot water
    • 1/2 cup arugula
    • 1 oz. freshly squeezed lime juice
    • 2 oz. gin
    • Ice
    • Mint sprig, to garnish

    Instructions

    1. Start by making a honey simple syrup. The ratio is 3 parts honey to 1 part hot water. I measured 1/3 cup of honey into a small bowl then filled the 1/3 cup one third of the way full with hot tap water. Pour the hot water over the honey, gently stirring to combine.
    2. To a cocktail shaker, add 3/4 oz. honey simple syrup, arugula and lime juice. Using a muddler (or a wooden spoon), mash up the arugula several times. The arugula should look bruised, not pulverized. Add the gin, cap and shake to mix the flavors.
    3. Fill a short tumbler with ice. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer (this is called double straining) into the tumbler. Garnish with a mint sprig.

      Very interesting. I will try this, maybe blending the arugula with mint. Arugula is great for the liver, so it’s like you’re cleaning your liver as you’re drinking :))
