Ingredients
8clwhite rum
100gstrawberries
1lime, cut into wedges
4tspsugar (I prefer cane sugar)
20mint leaves
Sparkling water
Ice cubes
Instructions
Hull the strawberries – remove the stalks and cut them into quarters.
Put the lime wedges, strawberries, sugar and rum in a shaker or a glass and muddle them well together – ideally with a muddler.
Add the mint leaves and press/bruise them lightly so they release their oils – just a couple of times with the muddler – don't mash them too much.
Fill 2 glasses with ice, ideally crushed ice – and divide the mixture between the glasses.Tip the lime wedges, mint and all into the glasses – there's plenty of flavour left in them, and it looks beautifully rustic.
Stir well with a spoon so everything is thoroughly mixed with the ice, and top up your strawberry mojito with sparkling water.
Garnish with fresh strawberries and mint, if you like.
