THE DARK RUM MOJITO
Have you ever thought of levelling up the classic mojito? The addition of dark rum to the classic recipe — in lieu of the white rum — really brings out extra depth and flavour in every sip. This dark rum mojito has a deep and rich flavour with a good amount of sweetness, and a blast of freshness from the mint. The recipe is simple: just muddle the mint, lemon, and simple syrup. Then add rum, lime cordial, soda water, garnish — and you’re good to go!

Method
| 1 | Add mint, simple syrup, and a squeeze of lemon to a glass. |
| 2 | Stir until mint is bruised (if you over-stir you will pulverise the mint — which is not what you want). |
| 3 | Add dark rum, lime cordial, ice, and soda water. |
| 4 | Garnish with lemon slice, orange twirl (if desired), and mint leaves. |
| 5 | Cheers! |
