It’s the weekend, so anything goes. I’ve had the mint- a whole bag of it- for a whole week and after spotting two ripe limes on our tree, I thought, why not a mojito?

The mojito recipe I got from BBC Food. I didn’t want to make sugar syrup and this recipe simply asks you to put the lime slices, mint leaves and sugar (didn’t have white so used brown) into a glass and to muddle it with the narrow end of a pestle (it’s what I had). Fill the glass with ice, then pour in your rum and then Sprite.
