Brighton Mojito

A couture twist on a classic.
A bright collision of 100% organic mint tea – Brighton Tea Rooms Fresh Mint, lime, and raw sugar syrup, softened by chilled tea and lifted with a whisper of sparkling water. Refreshing, effortless, and undeniably elegant. Refreshing and stylish, whether you choose white rum or keep it purely botanical.

Think Riviera afternoons, linen suits, and the sound of ice against glass.

🌿 Brighton Mojito

A couture take on the classic mojito that’s bright, botanical, and endlessly elegant.

✦ Ingredients (1 serving)

With alcohol:

• 60 ml (2 oz) white rum
• 90 ml (3 oz) strong-brewed organic Brighton Tea Rooms Fresh Mint tea (chilled)
• 20 ml (2/3 oz) fresh lime juice
• 15 ml (1/2 oz) raw sugar syrup (or honey syrup)
• 6–8 fresh mint leaves
• Crushed ice
• Sparkling water to top

Without alcohol:

• Replace the rum with 60 ml sparkling water or ginger ale
• Everything else remains the same

✦ Method

1. Muddle the mint:
   In a tall glass, gently press mint leaves with lime juice and sugar syrup using a muddler or the back of a spoon — just enough to release the oils, not shred the leaves.
2. Add the base:
   Pour in the chilled mint tea and rum (or non-alcoholic substitute). Stir lightly to combine.
3. Fill and fizz:
   Add crushed ice until the glass is almost full. Top with a splash of sparkling water and stir again from the bottom up to lift the mint.
4. Garnish and serve:
   Slap a mint sprig between your palms to release aroma and nestle it on top. Add a thin lime wheel or dehydrated lime slice for garnish.

✦ Presentation Tip

Serve in a highball glass or a crystal tumbler with a silver straw.
For a Brighton Tea Rooms twist, dust the rim with a mix of fine sugar and dried mint powder.
