Garden Mojito on the Deck

A refreshing summer sip with homegrown mint

Cheers!!

🌿 Ingredients (for 1 mojito):

• 8–10 fresh mint leaves (preferably from your garden!)
• 2 tsp white sugar (or 15ml simple syrup)
• 1 lime (cut into wedges)
• 50ml white rum
• Soda water (to top up)
• Ice (crushed or cubes)

🥄 Method:

1. Muddle the mint & lime: In a sturdy glass, muddle the mint leaves and lime wedges with the sugar. This releases the oils and juices — and the smell is amazing.
2. Add rum: Pour in the white rum and give it a gentle stir.
3. Ice it up: Fill the glass with ice.
4. Top with soda: Add soda water to your liking and stir again.
5. Garnish: Add a mint sprig or a lime wheel for that finishing touch.

🪴 Serve with bare feet on warm decking and a playlist full of summer vibes.
