The Perfect Dark Rum Mojito
This very popular Cuban rum cocktail is perfect for summer, it has wonderful cooling effects whilst still packing quite a kick.
This cocktail was a favourite of writer Ernest Hemingway and is enjoyed by millions as the perfect summer drink.
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp of Sugar (soft dark brown sugar is ideal)
- 6 Mint Leaves
- Juice of half a lime
- Crushed Ice
- 2 Measures of dark rum (a golden dark rum is preferable, such as Mount Gay or Havana Club)
- Soda Water
Put the mint leaves, sugar and lime juice into a tall glass and muddle together. Add the crushed ice and rum then top up with soda water. Garnish with a mint sprig or leaf.
Feel free to substitute the rum with your favourite brand of dark rum, I would not recommend using navy rum as it is too heavy to do this cocktail justice.
