Ice Mojito Inc. [IMOJI]

We drink everything!

Hot of the press or, should I say, off the bar, comes this refreshingly different twist on a Mojito from our pals at Havana Club

Place 200ml sugar and 200ml water in a saucepan. Add a handful of fresh basil leaves. Heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. Set aside to cool. When cool, strain into a clean jar, discarding the basil leaves.

Pop 2 large cherry tomatoes and a large chunk of watermelon into the bottom of a cocktail shaker and muddle. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and a drop of extra virgin olive oil. Add 50ml Havana Club 3 year old rum, 25ml lemon juice and 15ml of the basil infused syrup. Add ice. Shake well and double strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a basil leaf.
