Mojitos are undoubtedly one of my favourite cocktail recipes. They are so refreshing and vibrant and signify... it's Summer!
Ingredients
- 1/2 lime
- 2 tsp golden caster sugar
- 10-12 fresh mint leaves
- crushed ice
- 50ml rum
- cubed ice
- soda water
- 1/2 lime
- 2 tsp golden caster sugar
- 10-12 fresh mint leaves
- crushed ice
- 50ml rum
- cubed ice
- soda water
Dice half a lime into quarters and drop it into a tall glass.
Add 2 tsp of golden caster sugar (although you can tweak this to your own personal taste!). Muddle (squish) the lime and sugar together. Pick 10-12 mint leaves and give them a spank (clap them between your hands) to release the beautiful minty oils and add to the glass.
Top up halfway with crushed ice. Add the rum and give it a good mix. Top up the rest of the way with cubed ice and finish with a bit of soda water.
