D&C Monthly Recipe - Raspberry Mojito

Raspberry Mojito

INGREDIENTS

• 8-10 raspberries
• 1 lime, chopped into large chunks
• 2 tsp granulated sugar
• 2 mint sprigs, leaves picked
• ice
• 100ml white rum
• Sparkling water, to serve

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Divide the raspberries, lime and sugar between two tall glasses and muddle by gently crushing with the end of a spoon. The fruit should start to release juice, which will mix with the sugar.

2. Bruise half the mint leaves in your hand to release their flavour.

3. Drop the bruised mint leaves into one of the glasses, then repeat with the remaining mint, dropping it into the second glass.

4. Add a handful of ice to each glass, followed by the rum. Stir, then top up with sparkling water. Stir briefly until just combined, then serve.
