    M3 | Moroccan Mint Mojito

    We don't often drink hard alcohol. Beer, wine, cider and champagne are our main choices. While Phil has the occasional glass of scotch or whiskey with his cigar, the majority of our liquor cabinet is pretty untouched. We are however, suckers for the mint mojito. What's not to love on a hot summer's day? It's a beverage that immediately takes us back to our signature wedding drink last year and our 2013 trip to the Dominican Republic, sipping mojitos while laying on the white sand beach. Whenever we'd order one from the cabana, we'd ask our server to hold the simple syrup. They used both limeade and simple syrup in their mojitos - a bit too sweet for our tastes.

    Mojitos in our home are made with our own simple syrup using honey. Boiling this sweetness with mint and lime not only enhances the bold flavours of this trio but melds the mixture to create a healthier and more subtle version of this classic sugar water mix. Plus, substituting honey for refined sugar means we can enjoy even more mojitos guilt-free.

    Cheers xo
