In celebration of the month of love and the beauty of all things red this February, we’re celebrating with the most brilliant of red cocktails. Today, meet our strawberry & rosé mojito.
Luckily for us, our inspiration came from a fine delivery from the folk at Brown Brothers who sent their new Aussie made Brown & Co. A Little Sweet Rosé our way.
Mojitos are the perfect summer cocktail (and just as good for summer weddings, a mojito is perfect to batch!). They’re tall and icy, limey and sweet, and this version plays off the very best flavours of summer with a rosé twist.
The Brown & Co. A Little Sweet Rosé has all the light and crisp berry notes, so it pairs beautifully with strawberry. Plus, it’s vegan! Win-win! (Win wine?) We’ve amped up the flavour with a dash of strawberry liqueur and a little extra lime juice (I like my mojitos packed full of flavour) but you’ll be able to omit your sugar syrup for this one because the rosé brings all the sweetness on its own.
