Champagne Mojito

Okay, I admit I'm obsessed with mojitos. Ever since I had my first mojito back in 2000 in Cambridge, Mass, I've been experimenting with different mojito flavors. So, naturally, a champagne mojito was next in my list.

INGREDIENTS (1 cocktail)

  • 4 to 5 fresh mint sprigs
  • 3 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • Wedge of a lime
  • Champagne, chilled
In a glass add the fresh mint sprigs, sugar, fresh lemon juice and lime wedge.
Muddle with the back of a wooden spoon until sugar dissolves, about 30 seconds. Strain the concoction into a champagne glass.

Top off the glass with chilled Champagne and garnish with a spring of mint.
