Oh, I love a good Mojito! When done right, they are so refreshing, aren’t they?

They’re the best! I love the slightly stronger flavours that you get from using a spiced rum instead of a normal white rum. I hope you enjoy it! x
Ooh I love a mojito! This looks so good Faye! x

Same here, I definitely think they’re even better with a spiced rum! x
Who doesn’t love a Mojito, I have to say I’ve never tried a Spicy one! Think I’m gonna have to make one as god knows how long we’re going to be on lockdown for.
I’d never had a spiced rum one until I made one myself! I have to say, as a huge mojito fan anyway, it’s so much nicer with spiced rum π x
I love mojitos but I don’t think I’ve ever tried one with dark rum before but I totally agree with you that sometimes a white rum version can taste watery so I’m keen to try this. It looks so delicious and refreshing. Loving the cocktail recipes too x

So glad you’re enjoying the cocktail recipes! It’s been a lot of fun testing them out π There’s nothing worse than a watery mojito – dark rum definitely makes all the difference x
I’ve definitely been making a lot more coffee over this isolation period, but mojitos sound lushhh, especially as the weather is warming up. Too bad I’m not legal yet :’)
Oooh I do love a coffee! I’ll defo be making iced coffee’s again soon once it gets a bit warmer over here π x
I’ve never tried making my own cocktails! I don’t drink but I could definitely experiment with mocktails. I had a mocktail mojito last year at a restaurant and it was lovely! xxx
Oooh, maybe mocktails are something I should look into trying for this series! A mocktail mojito sounds lovely π x
This recipe looks perfect for a post-work drink. I’ll definitely have to give it a go! xx
Definitely a good one for drinking post-work! x
Great recipe, Iβve been trying cooking and preparing many new things since Iβm staying at home for so long. It looks amazing!
Have a nice day,

Thank you! Experimenting with recipes is such a great way to spend time indoors at the moment x
Great post! I’ve never made my own mojito, though I love them, and I can’t think of a better time to try it out. Thank you for sharing!
Now is definitely the perfect time to test it out! They’re one of my favourite cocktails but I’d never really learned how to make my own until now. Hope you enjoy it! X
I’ve only ever had one good mojito and that was on holiday! I’ve been making a few cocktails at home but I’ve only really branched out to a pina colada – I think this is next on my list! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Oooh I’d love to make a pina colada myself! Maybe that’s what I should make next. I absolutely love this version of it – they’re even better with spiced rum π x
Yes love this! Canβt wait to see any other cocktail posts you share. I am thinking of sharing cocktails on my blog tooβΊοΈXx
Ah thank you! You should definitely share your cocktail recipes – I’d love to read them π x
I was taught how to make cocktails couple of years ago but never put it into practice, this is such a great idea and great recipe. Thank you for sharing
Oh that’s cool! Thank you so much – it’s definitely a current favourite drink of mine x
I’m not the biggest fan of Mojito’s. I think it’s the mint! I love the smell, but I really don’t like the taste. Now is definitely the right time though to start experimenting and making cocktails at home.
