About the recipe
Ingredients
2 sticks of lemon grass
4 tablespoons light brown sugar
6 sprigs of fresh mint, leaves picked
2 limes, cut into wedges
100ml Bacardi Carta Blanco
a large handful of crushed ice, to serve
soda water, to serve
Method
The zing of fresh lemongrass works a treat with the classic mojito flavours of mint and rum
- Finely chop the base of each stick of lemon grass and divide between two tall glasses. Split the sugar and mint leaves between them, then crush with a muddler or the end of a rolling pin to release all the flavours. Add the lime wedges, bash up the mixture a little more, then pour 50ml of rum into each one. Fill the glasses with crushed ice and top up with soda.
