Cuban Mojito Recipe

We can't give away our secret Cuban recipes, but here's one of La Bodeguita's special Mojito recipes for you to try at home ..... in moderation of course!

You will need:

• 6-8 fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 Lime
• 1 Tbsp Caster sugar
• A good measure of your favourite white rum
• Soda water
• Ice cubes

What you do:

• Take a tall glass and add to it your mint and sugar.
• Cut the 1/2 lime into 3 equal pieces and squeeze over the sugar then drop it into the glass
• Give the ingredients a gentle mix with a small rolling pin or similar item to dissolve the sugar in the lime juice and release the flavour in the mint leaves.
• Fill your glass to the top with ice
• Add the desired amount of rum (usually about 45 - 60ml but it is your drink so feel free to pour a good slug)
• Top up with soda water, give a little stir, kick back and enjoy your Mojito

Cheers!
