Mojito
Ingredients
1½ limes, cut into wedges
20 fresh mint leaves
2½ tsp granulated sugar
handful of crushed ice
65ml/2½fl oz white rum
splash soda water, to taste
fresh mint sprig, to garnish
Preparation method
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.
Add the ice and pour over the rum.
Add soda water to taste and stir well. Garnish with a mint sprig and serve.
ALE!
Abbot Ale, a lovely pint.
Old Speckled Hen.
Turned out to be 'glass half empty' for the 2010/2011 season.
