Xola Ntsinga
Old Fashioned
Ingredients:
- two tsp sugar syrup or one tsp granulated sugar
- one-to-two dashes bitters
- splash of water
- 60ml Whiskey or bourbon
- soda water (optional)
- orange slice
Method:
Put the sugar, bitters, and water in a small tumbler. Mix until the sugar dissolves if using granulated. Fill your glass with ice and stir in the whisky. Add a splash of soda water if you like and mix. Garnish with orange.
Gerda de Sousa
Mojito
Ingredients:
- juice of one lime
- one tsp granulated sugar
- small handful mint leaves, plus extra sprig to serve
- 60ml white rum
- soda water, to taste
Method:
Muddle the lime juice, sugar, and mint leaves in a small jug, crushing the mint as you go – you can use the end of a rolling pin for this. Pour into a tall glass and add a handful of ice. Pour over the rum, stirring with a long-handled spoon. Top up with soda water, garnish with mint, and serve.
