Step by Step Instructions
- TO PREPARE THE MUSCADINE SYRUP: Combine the Muscadine grapes, granulated sugar, and water in a saucepan, then bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, then strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve, using a spoon to force it through. Discard the solids left behind. Allow the syrup to fully cool before use.
- FOR THE MOJITOS: Muddle the mint leaves with a muddler or your hands. Fill the glass with ice, then add the muscadine syrup, rum, and the lime juice. Top with club soda and additional mint as garnish.
