Lime Mojito
- 3 limes thinly sliced
- 8 mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon white sugar, or as desired
- 15 ml water
- 200 ml club soda/ sparkling water, or as desired
- Ice cubes as desired
To begin, muddle the thinly sliced limes and mint leaves with some water. Add in the sugar and continue to muddle. Before adding this mixture to a tall glass, garnish the edge with some sugar. To do this, have some refined white sugar ready in a bowl. Take a lime wedge and pass it around the border of the glass. Once finished, dip the glass in the sugar. Once the lime mixture is in the glass, add some ice. Be careful not to touch the sugar coating on the border of the glass. Finish off the drink with either club soda or sparkling water. Top it off with a lime wedge and a few mint leaves. Enjoy!
Tip: If you don’t have a muddler (a tool used to crush fruits and herbs,) a wooden spoon can be used.

An all-time classic: Pina Colada

To begin, blend the pineapple chunks, pineapple juice, and ice. Add in the coconut milk and blend the delicious concoction once more until smooth.
