Feeling summery we decided to make Mojitos. The secret I have found to Mojitos is, instead of sugar use a mint syrup, something like Monin's Mojito mint syrup, which I found in Stockmann for about 9 euros. Works like a charm! I used to use just sugar, but the Mojitos always lacked a certain something. I guess you could try making your own syrup (there's loads of recipes on the web), but after finding ready made mint syrup, I just am too lazy to try myself! Add more sparkling water if you find this a tad strong.
Ingredients (per glass)
- half a lime, cut into quarters
- 25 ml mint syrup
- 35 ml white rum e.g. Angostura, Bacardi or similar
- 6 fresh mint leaves
- 60 - 80 ml sparkling water
- 5 - 6 ice cubes
- Put limes, mint syrup, rum and mint into a glass. Using the end of a wooden spoon, or as we did the handle end of our sharpening steel (for knives), bash/crush the limes and other ingredients together.
- When you think you have got the most out of the limes, add the ice cubes to the glass.
- Add the water.
- Stir and enjoy!
