Mojito Madness
This refreshing cocktail is the stuff of legends and movie icons from Ernest Hemmingway to Bond, James Bond. The drink was first popularised during the days of the U.S. prohibition when the rich and famous would journey to the party capital of the Caribbean, Havana, Cuba to get a decent drink.
An all time favourite of any well respected drinking establishment and a drink which can vary in serving glass, type of sugar, methodology and the use of crushed ice or cubed!
Ingredients
60ml Inner Circle Red Rum
3 spoons raw sugar
3 lime wedges
12 mint leaves
splash of soda (10ml)
Glass: Highball
Method
Place the sugar, limes and mint leaves into the highball glass, using a muddler or small rolling pin and crush to a paste. Add the Inner Circle rum and a splash of soda, then fill the glass with crushed ice. Now, violently smash the ingredients in the glass with a long spoon. Refresh with crushed ice to present well and add a mint sprig to finish and aromatise the drink.
Tips:
- Inner Circle Red is premium rum made from molasses; it has the perfect balance when combining with the flavours of the Manly Mojito.
- Crushed ice is a necessity in a lot of new and classic cocktails.
- Smashing the Mojito dilutes and marries the flavours. It is essential in bringing out the best in this drink.
- Sit back, relax and enjoy...
