Thursday Drinks Cabinet - Mojito's




You just can't beat this drink on a hot day! Not that we have had many of those lately. Anyone can make it. It is easy to do. Get some pre summer practice in now.

The ingredients are -

2-3oz of white rum,

juice of one lime (1oz) or more to taste,

2tsp sugar (sugar syrup),

2-4 (or more) mint leaves,

soda water to taste.

Lightly muddle the mint and sugar with a splash of soda water in a mixing glass until the sugar dissolves and you smell the mint.

Squeeze the lime into the glass, add rum and shake with ice. Strain over cracked ice in a highball glass. Top with soda water, garnish with mint sprig and serve. (Optional to add ANGOSTURA bitters for more flavour).




The above is a general guide. Don't be afraid to mix up the quantities to taste.

You've got to give it a try.
