Grapefruit Mint Mojito

We are always looking for ways to use the bounty being produced by the Planterra Farmer and we can never say no to a fabulous cocktail.  This recipes covers both.  The taste is refreshing and clean and it is so pretty.  A perfect signature cocktail for a warm weather wedding.

1 grapefruit, slice into eight wedges

8 tbsp. sugar

24 mint leaves

4 oz. white rum

onic water

Slice six of the grapefruit wedges in half width-wise. Divide the half-wedges between four highball glasses. Cut remaining two wedges in half length-wise and set aside for garnish.

Add 2 tbsp. sugar and 6 mint leaves to each glass, and use a muddler to crush gently until the sugar is mostly dissolved. Add 1 oz. rum to each glass, stir to combine, and then top up with ice cubes and tonic. Serve with a garnish of fresh mint and reserved grapefruit wedges.
