Raspberry Mojito
It’s happy hour again (as the song says) hooray. And while we are still in summer mode, this Bank Holiday weekend, our Friday cocktail is a Raspberry Mojito.
I have made a couple of versions of this. The first, which I loved, was quite feisty and didn’t feature much of a mixer. This one, however, is a longer drink, still with a bit of a kick, but you won’t be flat on your back after one. Unless you are a total lightweight, that is.
So, do give this a try. And even if it tips down for the bank holiday, this will give your weekend a wonderful fresh, fruity start.
Love Bacardi, such a holiday drink. I still adore a Cuba Libre (sounds so much more sophisticated than a Bacardi and Coke) but you have to drink it with sand between your toes.
Assemble all these delicious ingredients, then find yourself a nice tumbler. I have a fancy heavy bottomed one *sniggers*.
Add the raspberries, fresh mint leaves, sugar and lime juice to your glass and muddle away. I don’t have a muddler, so I used my juice reamer, but I imagine you could use the back of a spoon with similar success.
When all these fresh, scented ingredients have mingled, add a handful of ice cubes and then the white rum. Stir again.
Then top up with soda or fizzy water.
Another stir, a fresh mint garnish, a straw and its all yours.
Sip through a straw or glug down, as you please. Have a restful weekend.
