Ortanique Mojito Recipes

Steps:

• Put the oranges, limes, sugar, and mint in a large rocks glass. Muddle the leaves and citrus by pressing them with a pestle or a wooden spoon until juicy and fragrant. Add the rum and ice. Cover with a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously, or stir, until combined and chilled, about 30 seconds. (In general, by the time the shaker mists up the drink is ready.) Serve.

Steps:

• In a tall glass, muddle or mash together the mint leaves and lime. Add the simple syrup or sugar and fill the glass with ice. Add the rum and top with club soda, stir well. Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint.

Steps:

• Muddle the lime juice, sugar and mint leaves in a small jug, crushing the mint as you go - you can use the end of a rolling pin for this. Pour into a tall glass and add a handful of ice.
• Pour over the rum, stirring with a long-handled spoon. Top up with soda water, garnish with mint and serve.
