The mojito but with a delicious gin twist! Classic and colourful, refreshing and sweet this is the perfect sip on a hot summers day.
INGREDIENTS
60ml Mirari Blue Gin
15ml lemon juice
20ml sugar syrup
8-10 mint leaves (plus more to garnish)
Soda water
Cherries
METHOD
- Add Mirari Gin, lemon juice, sugar syrup and mint leaves into a cocktail shaker.
- Top the shaker with ice.
- Shake well.
- Strain into a chilled highball glass, filled with ice.
- Top with soda water.
- Garnish with mint and optional cherries.
SIMPLE SYRUP
To make the simple syrup: Combine equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan. Warm over medium heat, whisking occasionally, just until the sugar has melted into the water. Remove from heat. Allow to cool. Store in fridge for up to 4 weeks.
TIPS
- You can use any of our gins if our blue isn't within reach.
- Freshly squeezed juice is best.
- For a variation you can use lemon juice instead of lemon juice.
- If you don't have a cocktail shaker, you can use a jam jar with a lid.
Cheers!
