Canadian Twist On A Classic Cocktail

Contributed by: News Canada

(NC) - A summer favourite, the mojito, is having a rebirth as bartenders across Canada are creating new twists on this classic cocktail.

Like spicy cocktails? Why not try a Watermelon and Jalapeno Mojito? Do you love the flavour of fresh, local berries? Try muddling in raspberries to create a signature Razz Mojito.

For a uniquely Canadian twist on the mojito, try replacing sugar with maple syrup, et voilą, a Maple Mojito.

Step-by-step instructions for making a perfect Original Mojito or other unique blends are available online at www.bacardimojito.ca.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 oz Bacardi Superior Rum
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1/2 lime (cut in to 4 pieces)
• 8-10 mint leaves
• 1 sprig of mint, for garnish
• 2 oz club soda

Gather mint and rub around the rim of a tall highball glass. Drop mint in glass. Squeeze lime juice from 1/2 lime and drop into glass. Add 1 tbsp maple syrup and muddle with pestle. Next, fill the glass with ice. Add 1 1/2 oz. Bacardi Superior Rum and top with club soda. Stir well and garnish with a lime and sprig of mint.
