Cherry Mojito
A Mojito with a touch of cherry. Beware, this is no cherry bomb and those looking for something fruitier and sweeter should add 2.5 to 5ml (½ to 1 barspoon)...

PS: thanks for the hint about the sugar syrup in the Mojito article, I love my drinks on the tart side but this one needed the 1/4oz to allow you to taste the cherry, just as you said. I can personally attest to the lovely difference it makes! 😉

This was adorable but confess I switched out the Cherry Heering for MacGuinness Cherry “Brandy” because Cherry Heering makes me think of and taste cough medicine. Perfect application for the pretend stuff, lovely on a sweltering tropical afternoon (even though we are many latitudes north of the tropics)!

Heretical, but I like this better than a Mojito. I just find that the lightly muddling, then churning works better than just either separately. Suits a lukewarm winter (which is common in many parts of Asia), or a Christmas in the southern hemisphere.
