Thé Paon Picnic mojito mix

mojito-mix

Ingredients

  • bottle of aged rum (one that has a vanilla notes)
  • Thé Paon Pure butterfly pea flowers
  • sugar syrup
  • fresh limes
  • fresh mint
  • Garnishes : ice & soda water

Method

Bruise the mint springs and leaves (we use a muddler) and place in a large bowl or pan. Zest the limes into the bowl, then quarter the limes and squeeze in the juice.

Add as many butterfly pea flowers as you like (maybe 1 or 2 dessertspoonful’s), and pour in a bottle of your favourite rum. Add the sugar syrup to taste – you want it tangy but not too sour.​​​​​​​​

Leave to infuse overnight (or at least a few hours), giving it a mix every so often.

Strain the mix into a large jug with a spout, making sure to squeeze the limes and mint to get all the goodness. Gently transfer to a bottle for transport.

All that’s left to do is pour 1-2 shots over ice and top up with soda water. Mmm refreshing – enjoy!
