Mikey’s dark and twisted take on the Mojito is the perfect excuse to sip on something scrumptious that’ll warm you right up through the colder months of the year.
Replacing the classic recipe’s soda water with ginger syrup and Artisan Drinks Fiery Ginger beer adds warmth and spice to the mix, as well as it raises the Mount Gay Black Barrel up onto its appropriate pedestal.
Building your ingredients over crushed ice like the classic will keep your dark and stormy concoction fresh until you’re ready for a second round. Give your drink a swirl to gently mix the flavours together and add a sprig of fresh mint. Voilà- you’ve got a perfectly sippable Dark Ginger Mojito.
