1. Cassis Mojito
If you love mojitos but want a little twist in the original recipe, here’s the perfect one for you. We’ve added cassis to the recipe. It uses Crème de cassis, a sweet, dark red liqueur made from blackcurrants. This gives a robust berry flavor to the drink, but a word of warning these are so delicious they may go down too easily. Handle with caution!
- 1.5 oz Absolut vodka
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 oz cassis
- 5 mint leaves plus sprig to garnish
- Strawberries for drink and garnish

Put the mint leaves and strawberries in a tumbler and muddle. Add sugar and vodka. Pour over a Spirit Ice Vice Ball and add prosecco. Garnish with another strawberry.
