Summer will be hot, winter too, so the weather will be to cocktails.
And why not learn how to make mojitos for your summer and even winter evenings?
This recipe for cocktail from Cuba will allow you to save money while having a good time with friends.
A cocktail for all seasons, finally;)
- 1 tablespoon of powdered cane sugar
- 1/2 lime
- 5 or 6 fresh mint leaves
- crushed ice (you can break some ice cubes)
- 6 cl of white rum
- sparkling water (like Perrier for example)
1. I choose a glass large enough to pour the sugar and a few lemon wedges.
2. Using a pestle, I crush this mixture before adding the mint leaves.
3. I pound again, being careful not to damage the leaves too much.
4. I add the rum, crushed ice and sparkling water.
5. I mix again and decorate my glass with a slice of lemon.
There you go, your mojito is ready :-)
All you have to do is consume it, in moderation of course!
And if you are already a mojito consumer, there are alternatives to this classic recipe.
Do you know the Creole mojito? It tastes a bit more bitter if you add 3 or 4 drops of angostura bitters.
Or the royal mojito? The one for big occasions! Instead of sparkling water, we add champagne which will bring a sparkling and imperial side to your house cocktail.
