Well this is my version of the Mojito, and I bloody hell like it, hence the name. The ingredients are based on the original mojito, but with a few alterations.
What I like most about this drink is the explosion of flavours you feel when you take the first sip. The combination of fresh lemon limes and mint is almost alluring you to an awakening of your senses, nevertheless refreshing and one to enjoy on a bright sunny afternoon at the beach.
So firstly we get half a lemon lime (the big round ones you get in the supermarket), cut it into quarters, and throw it into the base of a glass. Into it, add a bunch of mint leaves (preferably about 8-10 leaves will suffice), and the leaf of a kaffir lime. Muddle it well, basically just smash it as much as possible because the harder you smash, the better the flavours emerge, and the more aromatic your drink becomes. Next, we will add 30ml or Bacardi White Rum and 15ml of Gordon's Dry Gin. Top up with 7-up or Sprite (well its a bit of playing cheat but does it really matter? Sugar syrup and soda water gives you 7-up anyway!) and lastly add about 15ml of Grenadine syrup. Give it a nice good stir and you might suddenly find yourself at the beach.
