- Next add half of rum, lime juice and sugar to each glass.
- Fill rest of glasses with ice and club soda.
- Garnish each with a slice of lime and a sprig of mint if desired and serve.
I know quite a bit about figs. My big mama has the most luscious fig tree in her backyard in Mississippi so I adore whenever I can get my hands on some. Since fig season ends so soon, I thought that a mojito celebrating the season with the flavors of maple to highlight fall would be lovely. And I was right.
How to Store
A fig mojito is best enjoyed fresh, but if you need to store it, keep the mixture without the ice in the refrigerator for up to a day. Add ice and club soda just before serving to keep the fizz alive and the flavors vibrant.
