Ingredients
Raspberry Syrup:
- 8 tablespoons of white sugar
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1/2 cup of raspberries (fresh or frozen)
Mojito:
- 2 limes, cut into wedges
- 1 small bunch of mint leaves
- 60ml of raspberry liqueur
- 240ml of white rum
- Fresh raspberries to serve
Method
Raspberry Syrup
In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water and cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves.
Remove saucepan from the heat and add in the raspberries.
Let the mixture steep (the longer the better, but wait at least an hour if you can!).
Mojito
For best results, we recommend making the mojitos one at a time in a cocktail shaker.
In a cocktail shaker, muddle or crush the 1/4 of the lime wedges and mint leaves.
Add in 2 tablespoons of the raspberry syrup, 60ml of white rum and 15ml of raspberry liquer.
Add ice, cover, shake, and then strain into a glass over ice.
Garnish with a few fresh raspberries and serve!
