Strawberry and mint mojitos by Lorraine Pascale

So we were away celebrating our wedding anniversary, and picked out this cocktail from Lorraine's book to make and enjoy whilst the boys were in bed.  


The ingredients were demerara sugar, limes, strawberries, fresh mint, crushed ice, white rum and soda water. 


They were delicious, but as you can see, the wine glasses weren't quite big enough!  I would recommend a straw or cocktail stirrer (as Lorraine advises, but we didn't have either of these in our holiday cottage!) so that you can mix everything together before sipping.  Yum yum. 

I particularly liked the combination of fresh lime juice and demerara sugar which you bash together with the end of a rolling pin in the glass before you start.  Sounds odd, but it is so lovely when combined with all of the other ingredients!
