Cocktail O’Clock: Memorial Day Mojito
This new drink from Tony Abou-Ganim, The Modern Mixologist takes one of our favorite cocktails, the mojito, and amps it up with one of our favorite cocktail add-ons: ginger. Why didn’t we think of that before?
Memorial Day Mojito

1 1/2 oz Shellback Spiced rum
1 oz Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
12-14 Fresh Mint Leaves
1 oz Ginger Syrup

In a highball glass, lightly muddle lime juice, ginger syrup, sliced mandarin and mint leaves.

Before taking the first sip, raise the glass in memory of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to secure the freedoms we hold dear.
