Something a little different from your usual Mojito, but this variation of the world popular Cuban cocktail certainly has its own unique strong points. This drink sees the usual combination of White Rum and Soda water swapped out for a bit of Irish Whiskey and Ginger Ale to pair with the other typical Mojito ingredients in Lime juice and Simple syrup.

Of course, this drinks flavour will vairy depending on the brand of Whiskey. In this case Jameson’s Irish Whiskey gives the Mojito a smoother easy going tone that once mixed up with the sweet and sour elements of the drink makes for a great experience.
