Plum-Infused Rum Mojito Recipe

Infused cocktail recipes are easier to do at home than you might think. 

Plum Infused Rum Mojito

Plum rhymes with rum, so naturally we infused one with the other - and then we made a mojito. Wordplay is how the best mixologists come up with their infused cocktail recipes.

Seriously though, infusing spirits with in-season ingredients can add an elevated twist to any drink. Try this easy at home infused cocktail recipe the next time you feel like being extra domestic.

Instructions

Make Plum-Infused Rum

  • To make plum-infused rum fill a mason jar with equal parts chopped, fresh plums and white rum. Seal the jar and give it a good shake. Store it in a dark, cool place for 3 to 4 days, shaking it once a day. Once the infusion is complete, filter the plums from the alcohol by way of a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth. The rum will keep for months. 

Assemble Cocktail

  • Squeeze fresh lime juice into mixing glass. Trace the mouth of your glass with a spent lime to wet it.
  • Invert the glass into a small pile of rimming sugar, rotating the glass to ensure the sugar sticks to the rim.
  • Add simple syrup, mint, and an eighth of a spent lime to the rimmed glass. Muddle lightly to bruise the mint, taking care not to tear it.
  • Add rum and lime juice to the glass. Then top with a handful of crushed ice and club soda. 
  • Quickly stir. Garnish with mint.
