Reviews
Very yummy!
Be careful making this drink. It’s very addicting. Love it
So you gave it one star b/c of the proof? How odd. We rate on the taste of the recipe, not the quality of the ingredients. I made the recipe with the rum I had on-hand. I cut the demerrera to 1-oz. , used lemon mint (what I had on-hand). I put in a glass with a cocktail cube and found it very tasty and refreshing.
GZ was joking, as he usually does.
Geoffrey Zakarian did a mojito makeover with “300-proof” rum. The highest possible ‘proof’ is 200 which is pure alcohol. It is not possible to have 300-proof rum.
