A Lighter Cocktail

The holidays are here and what better way to unwind at the end of a hectic shopping day than with a refreshing cocktail?

But of course we all know that cocktails are sugary, have high calories and should be avoided!

Well here is a recipe for a light cocktail that you might want to make for yourself or serve to guests during your next party.

PEACH MOJITO

 

Ingredients:

 

Peach 1 small, ripe - pitted and chopped

Lime wedges - 2 small

Mint leaves - 10 fresh

1 1/2 tsp of sugar (brown preferably)

1 1/2 oz (45 ml) of Rum

1 oz (30 ml) club soda

In a cocktail shaker combine the peach, lime, mint and sugar and muddle using a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon. Add the ice-cubes and the rum, cover and shake. Pour into a cocktail glass, top with soda and garnish with mint leaves and lime wedges.
