How to Make a Môn-jito Royale
Add the mint leaves and simple syrup to the bottom of a cocktail shaker and gently muddle together.
Add the Penmon White Rum and fresh lime juice.
Add ice and shake well until thoroughly chilled.
Double-strain into a glass filled with cracked ice.
Top with chilled sparkling wine.
Garnish generously with fresh mint and serve immediately.
The Perfect Serve
Traditionally, a Mojito is built directly in the glass. For the Môn-jito Royale we muddle the mint in the shaker and double-strain the drink instead. It may be slightly controversial, but it keeps large pieces of mint out of the finished cocktail while preserving all that fresh mint flavour.
Penmon White Rum
Penmon White Rum is made from scratch here on Ynys Môn, beginning with fermentation before being distilled and bottled at Llanfairpwll Distillery.
Its clean, bright style makes it particularly well suited to fresh citrus-led cocktails, where the rum can provide structure without overpowering lighter ingredients.
In the Môn-jito Royale, fresh lime and mint bring plenty of brightness while the sparkling wine lifts the finished drink and turns the classic Mojito format into something made for celebrations.
