A Berry Mojito for Summer

Fresh berries, lime and mint are a particularly good combination for a summer cocktail. Their contrasting flavours provide the inspiration for a Berry Mojito made with Carumbola Very Berry rum.

The traditional Cuban mojito combines rum, lime, mint, sugar and soda water. This variation introduces berry flavours and replaces the usual soda water with ginger ale, adding a gentle spiced sweetness.

The result is a fruity cocktail with the freshness of a mojito and a slightly different finish. It is particularly suited to a summer aperitif, served alongside small savoury dishes such as marinated olives, toasted almonds or crostini with whipped ricotta.

Fresh berries for garnish

Preparation

Place the mint leaves in a tall glass with the lime juice and gently press to release their aroma.

Add the Carumbola Very Berry rum and sugar syrup if needed. Fill the glass with ice and top up with chilled ginger ale.

Stir gently and garnish with fresh berries, a sprig of mint and a slice of lime.

For a less sweet version, replace part of the ginger ale with sparkling water.
