An improved mojito, hands down.

Make sure to use a decent prosecco, made the mistake of a cheap one that was canned and it drowned out the taste of everything else, in my defense I don't drink it unless its in a cocktail so I didn't want to be wasteful.

Anyway still nice and refreshing, next time I'll get a proper bottle and give it a crack!

For the rum I used Appleton Estate 8 Year old Reserve and for the Prosecco I used Belvino, which paired with other the ingredients ended up tasting lovely, which would make a great summer Christmas drink here in Australia
