Fresh, Funky Mojito!

It's been a while but I'm back with my take on the classic cocktail! It's perfect for the hot sunny afternoon (and we've been getting quite a few in Australia!).

Ingredients:
- A good bunch of fresh mint leaves 
- Wedges of lime
- White Rum (I use Bacardi Superior)
- Soda Water/Lemonade (If you use soda water, add a couple tsp of caster sugar)

Method:
- Squeeze a couple wedges of lime into your glass. 
- Clap with the mint leaves in your palms to bruise them and release the aroma. Place them into the glass. 
- Fill half the glass with ice then add a shot of rum (if you like yours stronger, then add 2 shots)
- Add roughly 1-2 shots of lemonade/soda water. 
- Give it a stir and top up with more ice, a sprig of mint and a wedge of lemon as as garnish.

Drink responsibly!
