Inspired by a great blackcurrant syrup I made together with Mint, I’m going to be treating my friends to this great Blackcurrant Mojito!
Cheers to a great summer – well a strange summer. With COVID-19 all around, we are gathering in small groups. But life is always a reason to celebrate and I love to use the harvest from my backyard whenever I can.
Every year, I make a Blackcurrant jam, but with the cold spring this year, the crop wasn’t as large as in previous years and I decided to try something different – a sweet and intense Blackcurrant syrup! This great syrup led to many other recipes, including this delicious Blackcurrant Mojitos. A backyard BBQ was made that much more special with these delicious drinks!
