Elderflower Mojito
This mojito recipe substitutes elderflower syrup for the typical simple syrup. The elderflower subtly accentuates the fresh, herby characteristics of the spearmint without stealing center stage itself.
INGREDIENTS
- 12 Fresh Mint Leaves
- 1/2oz Lime Juice
- 1/2oz Elderflower Syrup
- 2oz White Rum (we used Bacardi)
- 2oz Club Soda
- Garnish: Mint Sprig
DIRECTIONS
1
Gently press together the mint leaves, lime juice & elderflower syrup. You’re looking to bruise the mint and extract its oils, not beat it to a pulp.
2
Shake this mixture with the rum & ice, then strain into a tall glass with fresh ice.
3
Garnish with the mint sprig. Top with the soda & serve.
