Saturday Drinks Menu: Mojito Recipe

The first of what (I hope!) will be a weekly update of delicious drinks’ recipes.

This week, my favourite cocktail, the Mojito!

Ingredients

• 1½ limes, cut into wedges
• 20 fresh mint leaves
• 2½ tsp granulated sugar
• handful ice
• 65ml/2½fl oz white rum
• splash soda water, to taste
• fresh mint sprig, to garnish

Preparation method

1. Place the limes, mint and sugar into a sturdy highball glass and ‘muddle’ or mash with the end of a clean rolling pin, to bruise the mint and release the lime juice.
2. Add the ice and pour over the rum.
3. Add soda water to taste and stir well. Garnish with a mint sprig and serve.
