cocktail on the planet. Very refreshing, very beautiful and very, very simple to make. So,

first up, lime. Give it a little roll, just to loosen the oils in the skin, you can start

to smell it and also those little capsules of lime juice inside. Take the end off of

the lime, like that. Take a nice, just over a centimeter thick, like this, and then cut

it into four. That goes into our glass, I want about seven or eight nice leaves of mint,

try and go for the smaller ones, they are obviously younger, they're more delicate,

more perfumed. Look at that, beautiful. What we can do, give a nice little spank. Everything

in life is better with a little spank. *wink* That goes into the glass. About one dessert

spoon, level of sugar. If it's a little sour add a little bit more sugar. Now I haven't

got a muddler, i'm just gonna use the end of a whisk but you could use a rolling pin,

or anything that's flat like that. And what I want to do is eight, nice, little squashes.

I've been in some not so good bars, were you see the bar tenders going duh duh duh duh

duh duh. It makes the white bitter part of the lime extract and it makes the bitterness

also come out of the leaves. Next up we want fifty ml of white rum. I'm just using a little

digestive glass like this. Let's say fifteen ice cubes is good. I'm just gonna get my little

tea towel like this, grab in the little corners. Smash it up. You can use a rolling pin if

you want, you can get all your aggression out. Think of your bank manager or the estate

agent and the taxes you pay every year. But it's gonna be alright because we're gonna

have a beautiful mojito. Come and have a look, this kinda blend is nice, I like that, I like

it a lot. So i'm only gonna fill that glass, three quarters OK? and then i'm just gonna

top it up. With a little soda water, just a little splash like that, no more. And then

use our spoon, and we just, almost like cooking when you're folding things through egg whites

and cream, just fold it and then top up with the ice. Garnish with a little mint and also,

give it another spank. Another important Italian bar man told me to do that. Always spank your

mint. So there you go guys, I hope you like that beautiful cocktail and don't forget you

can be creative with this of course you can. It's really nice with different types of mint,

I've done it with lemon thyme before which was really interesting. You can also do it

with basil. Beautiful little basil leaves. Purple basil, green basil. If you like it,

like it. If you want to share it in your social media put it everywhere we want people making

there own fresh cocktails just like with when i'm cooking. Also don't forget, go and have

a look at Food Tube, if you wanna see some food to go with this lovely recipe. But I

hope you like that! Until next time, cheers!
