Perfect concoctions to jazz up your weekend plans!

With the lockdown in effect, weekends don’t feel the same. The sultry summers are finally here, and all of us are stuck inside, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun. So, in that spirit (pun intended), we have consolidated a list of six easy to make summer cocktails that you can whip up in no time using pantry staples that most of us would find at home.


1. Classic Mojito

Ingredients

  • 50 ml White Rum
  • 1 good splash of Soda
  • 2 tsp Caster Sugar
  • A few Mint Leaves 
  • 2 wedges of Lime
  • Crushed Ice
  • 1 tall Glass
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 large Spoon
  • Shaker, if possible

Method

1. Crush two wedges of lime along with 2 teaspoons of sugar in a large bowl or mortar until well mixed and set aside.  

2. Pick 10-12 leaves (depending on glass size) from a mint sprig and place in the bottom of a glass. Add the lime and sugar on top and press down with your spoon.

3. Add a handful of crushed ice to the glass until 3/4 full.

4. Pour the white rum and soda into a shaker and shake well. If you don’t have a shaker then pour both directly into the glass and mix well with a spoon.

5. Top up with ice and garnish with mint before enjoying.


2. Heady Cosmopolitan 

Ingredients

  • 45 ml Vodka
  • 45 ml Cranberry Juice

2. Add all the ingredients, squeeze both wedges of lime and drop in.
