A refreshing and icy mojito-inspired slushi made using fresh mint leaves, lime juice, and rum, blended to perfection in the Ninja Slushi machine. This spiked slush is perfect for warm days and casual gatherings, combining the classic flavors of a mojito in a fun frozen form.

Ingredients

Mint Simple Syrup

  • 15-20 fresh mint leaves (about 1 package)
  • 1/2-3/4 cup sugar sweetener (adjust to taste; 3/4 cup for a sweeter drink)
  • 1/2 cup water

Drink Mixture

  • 3/4 cup rum
  • 1/2 cup lime juice (about 4 small limes)
  • 2 1/2 cups water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mint and sugar: Add fresh, clean mint leaves without stems and sugar or sweetener to the bottom of the glass. Ensure the leaves have no brown spots for the freshest flavor.
  2. Muddle the mint: Use a muddler or the end of a wooden spoon to gently press and crush the mint leaves. Apply slow, firm pressure repeatedly until the mint aroma is fully released, indicating that flavor extraction is sufficient.
  3. Create the mint simple syrup: Add 1/2 cup of water to the muddled mint and sugar mixture, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. This can be done by stirring at room temperature or heating gently on the stove, though heating is optional.
  4. Strain the mixture: Use a mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain out the mint leaves from the simple syrup. Pour the strained syrup into a container and add the lime juice, stirring to combine thoroughly.
  5. Load the Ninja Slushi: Pour the rum mixture along with 2 1/2 cups of water into the Ninja Slushi machine. Ensure the total volume does not exceed 64 ounces, preparing the drink in batches if necessary.
  6. Start the machine: Power on the Ninja Slushi and select the Spiked Slush cycle. Allow it to churn and freeze the mixture until the machine beeps, indicating completion. The process typically takes between 20 to 45 minutes; in this recipe, it took approximately 25 minutes.
  7. Serve: Pull the lever on the machine’s spout to dispense the icy mojito slushi drink. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing cocktail.

Notes

  • Adjust the sugar sweetener quantity based on your preferred sweetness level.
  • Do not exceed the Ninja Slushi maximum capacity of 64 ounces to ensure proper freezing and blending.
  • Fresh mint leaves without stems provide the best flavor and aroma.
  • The mint simple syrup can be heated gently to dissolve sugar faster, though this is optional.
  • The freezing time may vary depending on the machine and ambient temperature.
  • Serve immediately for the best slush consistency.
