Melissa Mojito
Summer is almost here and having fresh melissa leaves gave the motivation to make a mojito twist. Actually, I realized that I haven’t shared a single mojito recipe till now. So, here is a delicious one with melissa, lemongrass, ginger and grapefruit combined. (You may build your cocktail in your glass if you prefer.)
Ingredients
- 50 ml White rum
- 15 ml Lime juice
- 15 ml Lemongrass-ginger syrup
- 15 ml Pink grapefruit juice
- 8-9 fresh Melissa leaves
- Soda
Instructions
- Gently smack the melissa leaves in your hand and drop them in your shaker. Add the rest of the ingredients, except soda, and give it a short shake with ice (not too long since we will serve with crushed ice). Open pour into your glass, top with soda and give it a stir. Fill your glass with crushed ice and garnish with melissa leaves. Cheers! 🥂
