Some Say Alcoholics...
Saturday, December 03, 2011
We say alcohol enthusiasts or connoisseurs even! Ari & Linda would like to present a new addition into our family :) We adopted this huge baby at Bahrain international airport on the way back from Abu Dhabi lol
Now rest assured this is not a novelty 3L bottle of rum, this is a tribute to how much we love mojitos. So in celebration of our newest acquistion, I am dedicating this post to how to make a delightfully refreshing mojito (Ari's way), perfect for a warm summers day in Melbourne!
For one serve, you will need...
- 1/2 a juicy lime, cut into two wedges (roll the lime in your hands or on a board first to bring out more flavour)
- 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, packed
- 3-4 sprigs of mint
- 1 1/2 shots of rum (or free pour as required lol) we enjoy Barcardi
- Splash of soda water
- Ice
- Cocktail shaker
- Pestle
- Squeeze lime wedges into the shaker, add brown sugar and mint (clap the mint in your palms first) and muddle with a pestle.
- Add to this the rum and some ice, close the shaker lid tightly and shake vigorously.
- In a highball/tall glass add some ice and pour over mojito mixture with lime wedges and all.
- Top with soda water to taste, stir prior to serving.
- Finish with a mint spring to garnish and enjoy!
