GINGERSNAP MOJITO BATCHING RECIPE

The Gingersnap Mojito is a bold, tropical twist on the classic — Extra Spicy Ginger Beer Syrup brings the heat, pineapple juice adds tropical sweetness, and fresh lime keeps it bright. Carbonated on CO₂ and finished with a dash of Angostura for depth.

The Extra Spicy Ginger Beer Syrup carries the heat and ginger complexity — no muddling, no simple syrup, no scratch work. Add the pineapple and lime, carbonate on CO₂, and you have a mojito that scales to any volume.

Batch Method

  1. Add 5 liters rum to a clean 5-gallon Cornelius keg.
  2. Add 3 qts Top Hat Extra Spicy Ginger Beer Syrup.
  3. Add 2 qts pineapple juice.
  4. Add 32 oz lime juice.
  5. Add 1 dash Angostura Bitters (or scale up to taste — 3–4 dashes per keg works well).
  6. Add 8 qts cold filtered water.
  7. Seal the keg and shake vigorously side to side for 2 full minutes.
  8. Carbonate with CO₂. See instructions below.
  9. Refrigerate minimum 12 hours before first service.
  10. Serve ~6 oz over ice. Garnish with fresh mint.
  11. Reshake twice daily to re-integrate ingredients.

Pro move: Use Top Hat Extra Spicy at full quantity — the carbonation process dilutes flavor slightly and you want the ginger bite to stay punchy. Add the pineapple last before water to prevent it from muting the ginger aroma before you seal.

💨 CO₂ Carbonation — Charging Stone Method
  1. Insert charging stone lid at 45° and spin to align seal. Clamp firmly closed.
  2. Set CO₂ regulator to 20–25 psi.
  3. Connect gray/silver Cornelius connector to center plug of charging stone lid.
  4. Pull up pressure release ring 30 times quickly. Release between each pull.
  5. Refrigerate 24 hours. Cold liquid absorbs carbonation better.
  6. Once cold: pull pressure release ring 30 more times.
  7. Test flow. Reduce to 15 psi if foamy. Maintain 20–25 psi without foam.
