Grapefruit Vodka Mojito Cocktail

Grapefruit Vodka Mojito

In October 2009, just after we launched our new shop in York, we launched our Grapefruit Vodka Liqueur 20%.  Made for us by Ian and Rosemary Mills in Powys in Wales, this is a truely fabulous drink for all citrus vodka lovers.  The cocktail possibilites for this drink are endless, but one cocktail creation stands out from the crowd as having been deliciously successful and was developed on the back of the popularity of our Demijohn Dark Mojito.  In fact our Grapefruit Vodka Mojito is so drinkable that is now used on a regular basis to start our Demijohn Tasting Evenings.  Not a bad way to start an evening I think you will agree!

A little Mojito cocktail trivia to impress your friends:  The original Mojito is a Cuban Mint Julep with lime and would be made with white rum, not our dark spiced rum as we are suggesting here.  During US Prohibition the old recipe was revived with great success at the Bodeguita del Medio Bar in Cuba.  Right, now stop studying and get into action....!

Ingredients:
2 measures Spiced Rum Liqueur 20%
2 measures Grapefruit Vodka Liqueur 20%
2 measures Soda Water
3-4 sprigs of mint
Hearty squeeze of fresh lime

Preparation:
Gently crush mint in the bottom of the shaker glass, add a hearty squeeze of fresh lime, fill up with crushed or broken ice.  Shake Spiced Rum, Grapefruit Vodka.  Stain into a colins glass and add the soda.  Top up with crushed ice if required and gently muddle ingredients together.  Add straws and away you go!
