Today I thought I'd let you in on how I make my favourite cocktail at home! I am a sucker for any kind of cocktail but I love mojitos, especially with some passionfruit added.
You can pretty much make these however you'd like. I've done it in various different ways with various different utensils... on our first attempt, our cocktail shaker was the bottle from my Blend Active Blender. Things have got a little more classy since then & I purchased this copper cocktail shaker from Sainsburys.
I'm also not very precise on measurements either (Good job on the recipe post G, It's going well...) I just do it to taste! But here's what you'll need for your at home mojitos!
White Rum
Soda Water
Fresh Mint Leaves
Limes
Agave Nectar (Or sugar, but I prefer the syrup as it dissolves quickly)
& passionfruit if you want to change it up a bit.
Throw your mint, lime juice (& the rest of the lime, why not ey?) white rum and your sugar/syrup into a cocktail shaker and give it a good old shake. Pour it equally into your glasses then top up with soda water. Ideally have your glass filled with crush ice & some mint leaves, but that's not essential!
As you can probably tell, it's pretty much trial and error every time! I've had some that taste heavenly & some that don't taste of much. Either way, they're so much fun to make with friends, so pop to the shops, grab the ingredients and you're good to go for a girls night in!
Cheers!

On a lazy, sunny morning in Brighton I want nothing more than brunch, consisting of a stack of pancakes drowning in syrup.
So that's what I got!
Myself, Hen and Garf took ourselves to Verano Lounge. One of my favourite little places in Brighton to grab a bite too eat.
Mismatching cushions and furniture in a big room with hundreds of paintings on the walls.
I love the uniqueness of this little place. It's not just like any other place, you can tell real effort has been put in.
Great for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Great for sipping on fruity and exciting cocktails, or for getting your foamy cappuccino to wake you up the morning after...
It took me a while to choose, I'm indecisive and it's a menu crammed with goodness. I wanted it all!
Milkshakes for everyone! Vanilla for Henry, Strawberry for Garf and Peanut Butter for myself. I'm one of those people who loves to mix sweet and salty and this milkshake hit the spoooottt. The men weren't such big fans...
The food's arrived!
Sweet, salty, soft and crunchy... so mouthwateringly good.
