My friends and I wanted to make mojitos for a BBQ we had last week. We brought together our ingredients and instead of having rum we had Martini Bianco, so mojitos were out of the picture. We had limes and mint ready but also a very ripe delicious Indian mango. What came next was magical, the creation of the perfect summer cocktail.
Serves 3/4
1 ripe Indian Mango (the soft kind)
2 cups ice cubes
1 Lime
5/6 mint leaves
3/4 servings of Martini
Water/lemonade
Scoop out the fruit of the lime and the mango. Put everything except the water/lemonade into a blender until the ice has blended. Pour into cups and top up with lemonade or water (I had water). Garnish with a mint leaf and/or a lime wedge.
This picture was what happened when we mixed the ingredients in the blender without the alcohol and mint leaves - still good but mixing them in the blender on the second round was better.
Does anyone else have their own conconctions for summer cocktails? Enjoy!
Oh my. I need to try this. Sounds like a great cocktail on the beach too.
