Apple and vanilla mojito recipe

Rumbullion rum brings warmth to our winter apple and vanilla mojito, with zesty lime, fresh mint leaves and a dash of soda. 

Crushed ice is best for mojitos, but cubed ice can work just as well. 

Ingredients

  • 25ml Rumbullion

  • Dash of vanilla syrup

  • Dash of apple juice

  • Crushed ice

  • 1/2 lime

  • Mint leaves and sprig for garnish

  • Dash of soda (optional)

Method

Served in a tall glass

  1. Slice the lime into wedges and squeeze 4 wedges of lime into the glass, add a dash of vanilla syrup and a handful of mint leaves.

  2. Muddle with the end of a rolling pin.

  3. Half fill with crushed ice and add the rum.

  4. Stir with a long-handled small spoon. 

  5. Top with apple juice, crushed ice and a dash of soda. 

  6. Garnish with mint leaves and a slice of apple.

  7. Straws to serve

Rumbullion!

Rumbullion spiced rum, rich with sugar and spices, Madagascan vanilla and orange peel pairs with the flavours of apple, mint and lime in our winter mojito. The mojito is more than 500 years old, making it one of the oldest mixed drinks in the world. It's incredibly adaptable, but ideal with the flavours from the spiced Rumbullion.
