Golden Frozen Mojito
I've been craving the perfect frozen drink lately, and it felt like the right time to finally pull out my Ninja Slushie machine. I love that you can just throw everything in and it creates the smoothest, most perfect consistency every single time.
I've tested quite a few drinks in this machine already, and this one is easily at the top of my list. It's refreshing, a little indulgent, and honestly perfect for spring break, hosting, or a cozy night in.
For this recipe, I made a homemade mint syrup so you get all that fresh mint flavor without having to blend the leaves directly into the drink. If you're not a fan of texture, this is exactly what you want-smooth, icy, and as good as it gets.
Ingredients
Method
Golden Frozen Mojito (Ninja Slushy)
- Make the pineapple puree (optional but a pretty touch)Cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple. Slice away the peel and remove the core. Chop and blend until completely smooth. Add a splash of water or pineapple juice if needed to blend.
- Prepare the glasses: Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass. Dip into sugar to coat. (optional but recommended: Freeze glasses 10 minutes before serving).
- Make the slushy: Add rum, lime juice, mint-infused syrup, and cold water into the Ninja Slushyi machine.
- Run the slushy program until thick and frozen (about 20 minutes).
Mint Infused Syrup
- Add the sugar and water to a small saucepan.
- Warm gently over low heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved abut 2-3 minutes).
- Add the mint leaves then remove from heat and let steep for 15-20 minutes.
- Strain or removes leaves. Can let cool more but also can pour into the Ninja at this point.
