Mojito BRG

A mojito is one of my favorite and the most refreshing cocktails you can make. Bright lime, fresh mint, a little sugar, and good white rum, and a slight twist come together to create the perfect balance of sweet, citrusy, and cooling.

Ingredients

1. Mojito

• 50 ml white rum

• 1 lime, cut into wedges

• 2 teaspoons of simple syrup or honey

• 6–8 fresh mint leaves

• Soda water, and if you want to elevate it even more: half soda, half Appletiser

• Ice cubes or crushed ice

Instructions

Place the lime wedges and sugar/honey in a sturdy glass. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the lime so the juice releases and mixes with the sugar.

Add the mint leaves and lightly muddle them just enough to release their aroma. Avoid over crushing them, as this can make the drink bitter.

Fill the glass with ice, then pour in the white rum.

Top the drink with half soda water and half Appletiser for the Ruan Goosen twist.

Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge, and serve immediately while cold and refreshing. 🍃🍹
