Classic Mojito
Serves: 1
Ingredients:
30ml white rum2 tsp Clarks Carob Syrup
8-12 mint leaves
½ lime soda water
2-3 batons of finely sliced root ginger [optional] glass of crushed ice
method:
- Slice your lime into four segments and place in the bottom of a highball glass. Add your Clarks Carob Syrup and then use a muddler, bar spoon or rolling pin to squash the ingredients together and release the lime juice.
- Clap the mint to bruise it and release the fresh aroma and rub around the rim of the glass then drop into the glass.
- Use a muddler again and mix together. Pour in your rum and add in some thinly sliced root ginger. Leave for a minute while you crush halve of your ice.
- Half fill the glass with crushed iced and top with soda water. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and some elderflowers, if in season.
