Tired of Muddling? | Lime & Mint Cordial for Fast and Clear Mojitos

Have you ever worked at or hosted a party where you made a lot of Mojitos? Were you tired of muddling mint for every single cocktail? I have a solution! Lime & Mint cordial for fast and clear-looking Mojitos, without compromising the lacking fresh mint taste. Clarified Mojito where the rum keeps its full flavor is the best option for larger parties or when you would like to impress your guests. The additional spray of Absinthe and a bit of cardamom in the cordial is just a great improvement of this cocktail but I will let you be the judge. What do you think of the Cocktail Time Mojito?

[@KevinKos]

Is the mojito your go-to summer cocktail?

[@MrMoney331]

Usually don't have a mint on hand often so No. But finally got one growing so maybe that will change.

[@Lyoneastroy]

Not just the summer - my favourite all year round! 😊

[@jonasandersson5778]

Usually the coffee press turns into a mojito press in the afternoon.

[@baptistevern2850]

Gotta love the "wow" effect of a clarified cocktail, added to the tremendous gain of time during service in the summer

[@AngryCocktails]

What an amazingly creative interpretation. Then again, I'd expect nothing less.

[@KevinKos]

Thanks a lot! I am glad you like it!

[@CoachVinoLLC]

That cordial has endless possible uses. Looks incredible. Fantastic job as usual.

[@KevinKos]

You're right, you can use it in many cocktails. Thanks, Vino!

Love this one! The cardamom and absinthe sound amazing with this!

[@KevinKos]

Thank you! Glad you like it!

[@justicemacdonell2104]

Hi Kevin and team. Reaching out from Ontario, Canada. Thank you for sharing your magic with us. I'm commenting on this video because your mojito recipe is the first of your recipes that I've made. I made a batch yesterday, and ... it didn't last long. It was delicious. The beautiful complexity of the flavors hidden by its simple look over clear ice was stunning. Anyways, I'm not sure how many of your viewers/subscribers are into golf, but I have a selfish request: Is it possible for you to put your Midas touch on the Transfusion cocktail? If you've read this far, thank you for your time and everything you all do. Cheers to 2023.

[@pagio14]

I really liked that you proposed less ideal, but usable alternatives this time. I just might try this one!

You will thank me later for this 😄 I am glad you like it! Cheers!

[@dannyk1818]

A mojito is always a good idea but I think this cordial sounds amazing 🤩 Would probably work great with gin too or even just soda for a zero ABV option. Time to use that agar again!

[@KevinKos]

Great idea!! This cordial with gin would be a delicious clear Suthside cocktail 🤩

[@TheWeePearl]

What a great idea! The one part I dislike in Mojitos is chunks of mint getting stuck in the straw.

[@KevinKos]

That's a great point! I totally forgot to mention this, but just another reason to try this cordial. Cheers, Meghan!

[@Barprints]

So many fun ways to play with it in cocktails as well. Great modifier!

[@KevinKos]

Great idea!

[@institches2750]

Looks delicious! I wonder if you would consider making some videos on virgin cocktails? The super juices and this cordial seem like they could also jazz up some lemonade.

[@darranridley]

This is a great recipe. Ive now made a second version using a different clarification method. I added for every liter cordial I added 2ml of pectinex to the blender, then once pureed added 2 ml of Kiesolsel, 2 ml of Chitosan and then 2ml more of Kiesolsel (15 minutes apart, to Dave Arnold's percentages in Liquid Intelligence), then ran everything through a Spinzell centrifuge to clarify. This gave a better yield.

[@DrinkInDigital]

The absinthe sprayed mint is so classy.

[@KevinKos]

Thank you! I like to keep some things classy 😉

[@adamsteinhardt6393]

This makes a delicious mojito while front loading the prep! I love it. One suggestion- add the sugar to the peels and cardamom and allow to sit for 1-2 hours to make an oleo saccharum. Similar to the logic explained in the super juice episode, this ensures a good extraction of the oils and a more complex flavor. Cheers

[@KevinKos]

Great tip! Cheers!

[@John-po9wz]

why not just take it a step further and use super juice?

[@hiiipowerbass2337]

@@John-po9wz I would assume the acid content of super juice would make the end cordial recipie need to be tweaked

I very like your video it's help me alot. I can ask you how can we calculate the amount of citric acid in cordial?

[@Dayman.]

I made this some weeks ago and absolutley love it. It' also fantastic without the rum, easy refreshing summer drink in 5 seconds once you'v emade the cordial. It would be cool to see an adjusted recipe for this that uses superjuice instead of the lime juice and acids. I imagine a lot of people might be making these back to back in batches so having those numbers would be useful.

Ok, I'm liking and subbing for this one. How long does the cordial keep? In the fridge?

[@KevinKos]

Thanks for the sub! It's good up to a month in the fridge. But you can always freeze it to expand the life spam of the cordial.

[@HaydenHarrison412]

Does adding a splash of neutral spirit (vodka) help in keeping it longer as is done with simple syrup?

[@manuele.itriagom.728]

@@HaydenHarrison412 don't think so, but cordial lasts enough in the fridge and you can always get the store bought instead of making your own, which of course is not the same, but it does save time and tends to last longer

[@samiyedfloof244]

So I attempted this Cordial today, and unfortunately I did not have much success. For the sake of time I put it in the freezer after mixing in the Agar step, however I found it begin to freeze before it started to gel, so next time I would try the ice bath. How long (roughly) does it take to turn into a gel using an ice bath?

[@anyihevia3041]

Hi Kevin. In my country is really dificult found malic acid. Can i use only citric acid?

[@manchorena]

Great receipes!!! I´ve tried it at home and it tastes amazing. Also, I´m currently trying a riff on this cordial for the Gin Basil Smash, I´ve just cut the sugar to 85 grams, replaced lime for lemon and replaced mint for basil. I´ll let you know how it comes out!

[@beltranpb]

I have a question. If you want to do one different mojito like passion fruit mojito or mango mojito... We can do the cordial in the same way but with the fruits we want to use??

[@mcorsentino]

I tired this using a centrifuge rather than agar agar as I had none on hand. While the centrifuge did a great job of removing the solids from the cordial at 4000 rpm/10 minutes i was unable to remove the light green tint even after multiple passes through coffee filters. Is the agar agar method superior to a centrifuge for this method? My thinking was clarification is clarification.

[@michaelteague7487]

I followed recipe to exact and doubled batch it never solidified and it was green I strained several times and never could get to clear. What temp is agar agar activated? Not sure how yours was clear following this

[@matthiasloch5522]

Hi Kevin, thanks for the video. All your videos are super inspiring. I made the cordial and it tasts fantastic. I made it with 100ml more lime juice instead of water, cidric acid and the malic acid... It didnt clarify.... Do i get the cristal clear version only when i use the acids?? Thank your for your help

[@marcel7524]

i tried a lof of times. My problem is: i cant find the best point for agar agar. Maybe this is your problem too

[@magulsz8874]

Kevin can i please know how do you calculate how much grams of acid powder you put in cordials in general? is there a certain ration or a general rule? Your take would be helpfull. Much love from Cyprus

[@jonspliid]

How much cordial does this make? And if I make a double, should I also double the agar?

[@uncleslam9022]

Mint Tea and mojitos are common around summer here. We have 2 or 3 kinds of mint growing wild in the yard.

[@Barprints]

Sounds like they'd make amazing drinks. I'll bet mixing the mint varieties gives some nice complexity.

[@griffinjones8123]

Tried this without the agar agar (which seemed like it was only important for clarifying) didn't have much luck getting the mint flavor to come through. Im not exactly sure how you intended to get the mint oils extracted without making an ole sacrum first. What am i missing? Just blending it doesn't do the job.

[@cesarsanchez3496]

If I don't have malic acid, can I only use the equivalent of citric acid?

[@Jesterhead971]

Hey, thanks for the great tutorial! I heard that when you're making a Mojito the "classic" way it's a "sin" to pull the mint apart/cut it to pieces/muddle it too hard since it would set bitter oils/components free. But in this case you're shredding the mint for the syrup. Are the bitter flavours balanced due to all the added sugar or are they filtered out with the Agar (because they're unpolar as well) or do they just not matter enough tastewise or am I just overthinking 😂? Thanks in advance if you take the time to read/answer it 😊

[@nothing-me1mn]

I don't know how it works for sure, but from cooking I know that crushing a leaf and blending it is different. Blending is more like cutting it a lot of times, so it doesn't rupture the cells as well and won't release as much flavor. Crushing it, on the other hand, ruptures the cells more completely. Here's a quick demo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGLdpJ2we7CCqKs

[@lorenzopicchio401]

Fantastico 😁

[@sinsin1998]

[@FrancescoK]

Hey @KevinKos possibly dumb question but if the cordial is being clarified anyway, what’s the point of blanching the mint “to prevent browning”? Couldn’t we just dump the mint in as is, blend, clarify?

Thanks for the video, it’s great! So I was wondering - could gelatine be used in place of the agar agar? I don’t have any on-hand, and it’s a quite pricey. Also, do you know if tartaric acid would work in place of malic acid? I have citric acid, but not malic. If not, could I make it part citric then part lime juice? Sorry for all the questions, thanks again for the video!

[@KevinKos]

You can do it with gelatin as well, but as with the agar, be careful with the amount of the gelatin added to the mixture. I used malic and citric since those replicate lime juice (if I would add some tiny amount of succinic acid it would be even closer) bit if you don't have malic just use citric instead. You can also use just lime juice without any acids added. You are welcome! I am glad I can help you!

Hi Kevin, have you tried the freezing method for making mint syrup? when I prep mint garnishes I always end up with a lot of extra mint leaves. All I do is add the leaves with a 1,5:1 sugar syrup in a container and freeze that solid over night. And then... I just let that thaw and strain out the leaves. The endresult ist a bright and fresh mint syrup with no blanching/blending/cooking/filtering or any kind of extra steps. When the mint thaws in the sugar syrup, the cells containing the aroma burst and hand over the aroma to the sugar which binds it. but no enzymes are released which would brown the syrup.
