Summer comes, the weather gets hot and we need cold drinks to remain cool.

Axar.az presents how to make favorite and most common cold drink Mojitos with Jamie Oliver's Drinks Tube & Bacardi.

Follow step-by-step mojito recipe for a refreshing summer cocktail.

Equipment:

A muddler (or rolling pin)
A spoon

A long glass

Ingredients

2 parts Bacardi Carta Blanca

½ fresh lime

12 fresh mint leaves

2 heaped bar spoons of caster sugar

Dash of soda water

Cubed ice

Crushed ice

To Garnish: Sprig of Fresh Mint

How to mix

Put the four lime wedges into a glass, then add the sugar and muddle (squish everything together) to release the lime juice.

Put the mint leaves on one hand and clap. This bruises the leaves and releases the aroma. Rub the mint leaves around the rim of the glass and drop them in. Use a muddler, bar spoon (or even a rolling pin) to gently push the mint down into the lime juice.

Half fill the glass with crushed ice and pour in the Bacardi Carta Blanca. Stir the mix together until the sugar dissolves.

Top up with crushed ice, a splash of the soda water and garnish it with a sprig of mint.
