The Southern Mojito
So you know when I made my Southern Comfort version of a Moscow Mule, I mentioned that I always love when I can take a drink that's traditionally vodka-based and use whiskey instead? Well, the same goes for swapping out rum for whiskey as well!
In this version of a mojito, mix Southern Comfort Black with lime juice, simple syrup, mint leaves and club soda to make the perfect summertime cocktail. If you're looking for a drink to pair with those Southern Comfort-themed burgers that I shared earlier this month this is it!
If you want to make your own simple syrup you can add equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan, heat it until it starts simmering and then whisk it until the sugar is dissolved. After that you can store it in an airtight container in your refrigerator for a few weeks and use it as needed. If you don't have simple syrup or don't want to make your own, you can also substitute 2 teaspoons of extra fine sugar for the ½ ounce of simple syrup in the recipe.
