Destalo Vinho Verde White Wine Mint Mojito

Mojito is a worldwide known cocktail, easy to make but easy to drink too, mostly because it is a light drink when mixed with wine, notably Vinho Verde (green wine), but a little heavier when it has white rum. Minty, boozy and refreshing overall, but sweet at best and citric to balance it: the perfect combination.

 

Ingredients

  • 5 mint leaves
  • 1 teaspoon of caster sugar
  • A lime (preffered) or lemon, squeezed
  • Half a glass of D’estalo Vinho Verde White Wine (preffered due to its acidity, lemony flavor and fizzy body)
  • A spash of club soda
  • Crushed ice

 

Instructions

Chop the leaves and add the sugar to a large balloon glass. Add the lime juice, too.

Stir frequently and add half a glass of D’estalo Vinho Verde White Wine.

Finish with a splash of club soda and crushed ice.
