Mine's a Mojito!

I love a good Mojito, it’s the combination of zingy fresh lime and mint, and of course rum that really hits the spot for me. Although the weather recently has been atrocious, whip this cocktail up, close your eyes, and you’ll be transported to a Caribbean island, with sand in you toes, and lapping sea in your ears.

Muddle half a lime and a couple of sprigs of mint in a tall glass, stir in a tablespoon of brown sugar and add a good double shot of a reasonably decent rum, I like Appletons or Havanna Club. Stir until well combined, fill the glass with crushed ice, and top up with soda water, give a good stir, add a couple of drops of Angostura Bitters to the top (Ilike the little bit of complexity this adds), and garnish with a sprig of mint, and a wedge of lime.

Close eyes and dream of sunny shores……

I love a good mojito or caipirinha, mixed on the strong side usually ;-)

I love Angostura Bitters me!

Everyone has their fabled 'no hangover drink' and mine is rum & ginger beer. Whilst working on North Hoyle windyfarm, we used to frequent a pub in Wales that when ordering a 'rum, ginger beer and bitters' they would pour the first two and just hand you the bottle of bitters. Depending on how quickly you felt like shaking, you could easily double/triple the strength of your drink for free :-)

Bit of an acquired taste with that much bitters in it, but still, no hangover!
