Mojito

Shaken · Collins glass · Mint sprig to garnish

Ingredients

• 60ml2ozLight RumReal McCoy 3 Year recommended
• 22.5ml0.75ozLime Juice
• 15ml0.5ozDemerara Syruprich, 2:1
• —Mint10-12 leaves, plus a sprig for garnish
• —Soda Watertop up to taste

Method

1. 1

   Add the rum, lime juice, syrup and mint leaves to your shaking tin.

2. 2

   Add ice and shake hard for 8-10 seconds. Shaking disperses the mint through the whole drink far more evenly than muddling it in the glass, and it's a lot quicker behind a busy bar too.

3. 3

   Strain into a highball glass filled with fresh ice.

4. 4

   Top with soda water and give it one gentle stir to bring it together.

5. 5

   Garnish with a mint sprig.
