This is a twist on the Mojito, substituting vodka for rum. Delicious and dangerously moreish!

For amateur cocktail-makers, vodka is an ideal spirit to work with. By definition a neutral spirit – certainly in comparison to categories such as rum and whisky – it works well with myriad flavours.

50ml Beluga vodka
25ml lime juice
37.5ml sugar syrup*
Small handful of mint
Soda water

Method

Glass: Highball

2

Muddle the mint in the bottom of a shaker

5

Garnish with a sprig of mint
