4 summer cocktails to enjoy by the swimming pool

1. Put 4 - 6 ice cubes in a long drink glass. That's a tall, narrow glass.
2. Pour 60 ml of Cuban rum over the ice cubes into the glass
3. Fill the rest of the glass with Coca Cola
4. Finally, add some lime juice and stir with a straw
5. And maybe garnish with a slice of lime

1. Cut a lime in half and pour the juice into a tall, narrow glass. The other half of the lime can be put in the glass as it is or squeezed and added as lime juice (15 ml) later.
2. Then add 3 teaspoons of cane sugar and 4 sprigs of mint
3. Crush everything carefully in the glass (leave the mint leaves whole). It is best to use a muddler for this. This is a type of pestle for crushing ice, herbs and fruit
   ​​​​​​Extra: For the best result, it is advisable to leave the mixed contents in the fridge for a few hours.
4. Then fill the glass with (crushed) ice cubes and add the rum.
5. Stir well using a bar spoon (long, narrow spoon) or simply a straw
6. Finally, fill the rest of the glass with soda water
7. Garnish with a few mint leaves

Variation:

• For a sweeter Mojito, you can replace the soda water with 7UP or Sprite
• For a Mojito with a delicious vanilla flavour, you can add 30 ml of rum (Havana Club) and 30 ml of Spiced Rum (e.g. Captain Morgan) in step 6

1. Pour the rum, orange juice and pineapple juice into a long drink glass with plenty of ice cubes
2. Add a splash of lime juice (5 ml)
3. Stir well (using a bar spoon or straw)
4. Finally, add a splash of Grenadine to the glass (which will drop to the bottom)
5. Garnish with some lemon or orange peel

1. Cut the lemon into 6 wedges
2. Mix the lime with 2 teaspoons of brown sugar in a mixer glass. This is a glass that is narrow at the bottom and wider at the top
3. Pour in the Cachaça  (60 ml)
4. Add some ice cubes and shake
5. Serve with a straw
