Try This Berry Twist On The Mojito
The Mojito cocktail is perhaps one of Cuba’s most famous exports. While its origin is still debated, it has been said to be a favourite drink of Ernest Hemingway and was found to be the most popular drink in Britain and France a few years ago.
The simple cocktail contains five base ingredients – white rum, sugar, lime juice, soda water and mint – and its refreshing yet sweet and sour flavours have made it a popular summer tipple. Even a virgin Mojito is just a delicious and refreshing on a hot summer’s day! We’ve found this stunning recipe that switches up these base ingredients a little to give it a fruity, berry twist. This Blueberry Mojito replaces the lime juice with lemon slices and adds a handful of blueberries, making for a soft, sweet and tangy flavour.
