The delicious Fresh Mint Mojito

White rum (optional)

6 – 10 leaves of local fresh Mint

Soda Water

1 Tbsp. Fresh lime juice

1 – 2 teaspoons Sugar (I like to use Cane  or Rice Malt syrup – far less processed)

Preparation: Mint sprigs muddled with sugar and lime juice. You can combine and bruise in a mortar with pestle for a better flavour. Add Rum and top up with soda water. Garnished with another sprig of mint leaves.

Served: On the rocks or poured over crushed ice, with lime slices.

Standard garnish: Sprig of mint and some lime peel if you like
