Gin Mojito

This gin mojito is a fun twist on the classic mojito recipe, swapping London dry gin for white rum in this refreshing summer citrus cocktail. A must for gin lovers!

Instructions
- Place mint leaves and sugar in a tall glass.
- Using a long-handled spoon, lightly muddle together the mint and sugar without breaking up the mint.
- Add lime juice and gin then stir to dissolve the sugar.
- Add ice cubes then top with soda water.
- Garnish with extra lime or mint sprigs and serve.
Notes
- *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- You will need 1 - 2 limes for this recipe, depending on their size and if you are going to use slices of lime to garnish your cocktail.
- You don't need a muddler, anything that is tall enough to do the job (and is food-safe) with a rounded end will do.
- I used a metal spoon, you could also use something like the handle of a wooden spoon (beware of cross-contamination if the wood isn't sealed).
- You don't want to shred the mint leaves into little pieces, just lightly bruise them to bring out the flavour. The end result will not be as pretty and there is no need to.
- I keep my soda water in the refrigerator, that way the ice doesn't melt as much in my cocktails and dilute the drink.
