Lavender Raspberry Mojito

This Lavender Raspberry Mojito is a fresh, luscious cocktail with a fruity and subtly herbal taste. To make it, use these ingredients:

• Rum – use light, white rum for this recipe. Dark or spiced rum overpowers the delicate aroma. If you prefer, substitute vodka or gin. For gin, choose a neutral, less juniper-forward option.
• Fresh raspberries – for adding a sweet, tart, and fruity flavour.
• Lavender Simple Syrup – adds the sweetness and a pleasant floral aroma.
• Limes – freshly squeezed lime juice adds signature freshness and tartness.
• Fresh mint leaves. Ideally, choose the variety with a delicate, subtle aroma.
• Ice cubes – for chilling and serving.
• Sparkling water or club soda – optionally, for topping. I normally don’t add it and enjoy a mojito with plenty of ice instead.
• Extra lime wedges, blackcurrant, and mint sprigs – for garnish.

How to Make Lavender Raspberry Mojito

That’s super easy, really. Muddle the raspberries, lime juice, lavender syrup, and mint leaves in a small jug or shaker, crushing the berries and mint with a pestle (muddler). Pour into a glass and add a handful of ice. Pour the rum over, stirring with a long-handled spoon. Top up with soda water (if desired), garnish with more fresh raspberries, lime wedges, and mint, and enjoy!
