Cocktail of the week - Spiced Mojito

October 1, 2014 by Joanna Harrison

As they say, variety is the spice of life, so first up, here's a Spiced Mojito to tantalise your tastebuds!

You'll need:

• A jam jar (yeap we do things the quirky way)
• 50ml Spiced Rum
• 1/2 a lime
• A good handful of mint
• Sugar syrup
• Angostura Bitters
• Ginger Beer Ice

Now the method behind the madness is as follows: 
1. Get your jam jar & throw in 4 lime wedges, a squeeze of sugar syrup, a handful of mint & a dash of Angostura Bitters.
2. Give it a good old muddle, if you cocktail enthusiasts don't have a muddler then a good bash with a rolling pin is ideal!
3. Fill the jar with ice and throw in a big glug of spiced rum
4. Put the lid on (please, it can be a right mess otherwise) and shake it hard like it owes you money!
5. Fill it up with some ginger beer, garnish with a mint sprig if you're feeling fancy, pop in a straw and you're off!

Trust me, its not complicated and is tastes outof this world!
