While it may look a little befuddling, Buddha’s Hand Citron is an age-old fruit with a sweet floral fragrance and mild zest that make it perfect for infusing into spirits like the base of this refreshing cocktail.

Ingredients

Buddha’s Hand Mojito:

  • 2 ounces Buddha's Hand-Infused Rum
  • 1 ounce Mint Simple Syrup
  • 6-8 ounces soda water
  • 7-10 mint leaves
  • 7-10 Buddha's Hand strips

Buddha's Hand-Infused Rum:

  • 1 quart premium white rum
  • 1⅓ cups sliced Buddha's Hand

Mint Simple Syrup:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 20 mint leaves

Preparation

To make Buddha’s Hand-Infused Rum, combine rum and Buddha’s Hand slices in an airtight container. (Since the pith ]t bitter, you can use the whole fruit.) After 5–7 days, strain out Buddha’s Hand pieces.

To make the Mint Simple Syrup, combine sugar and water in a sauce pan, bring to boil, then remove from heat. Add about 20 mint leaves and cover for 30 minutes. Strain and cool.

To make Buddha’s Hand Mojito, combine Buddha’s Hand-Infused Rum, Mint Simple Syrup and soda water in a glass with ice. Stir in mint leaves and Buddha’s Hand strips for garnish.
