It is still lovely and warm in the UK and my sister and I have created another popular delicious cocktail. We have both an alcoholic and non alcoholic version. Do remember to keep hydrating yourself with plenty of water during the warm weather. Always have a glass of water per every alcoholic beverage.

Ingredients

Alcoholic mojito

10 fresh meat mint leaves

2 heaped teaspoons of xylitol

1/2 fresh lime cut into wedges

1 shot of white rum

Soda water

Crushed ice

Cube ice

Non alcoholic mojito

10 fresh meat mint leaves

2 heaped teaspoons of xylitol

1/2 fresh lime cut into wedges

Splash of apple juice

Splash of sparkling water

Crushed ice

Cube ice

Place the lime wedges in a tall glass. Add the xylitol and squish them together using a muddler. This is to release the lime juice. Add the mint leaves and press them down into the lime juice. Then add the ice cubes and add either the rum or the apple juice. With a tall spoon stir all the ingredients. Add the crushed ice and add either the soda water or sparkling water. Garnish with some mint leaves and enjoy!
