This Blackcurrant Mojito Recipe is similar to the traditional Mojito Recipe in containing mint, lime juice, and club soda. On the other hand, it has been supercharged with Blackcurrant cordial, which, as you will be delighted to find out, comes with a neat little hit of vanilla added into the mix.
Blackcurrants are, without a doubt, one of the tastiest berries I’ve ever enjoyed eating. The amount of vitamin C found in blackcurrants is quite high, and these berries also contain good antioxidants and anthocyanins.
These blackcurrant flavours set this Mojito on fire and make it stand out. Imagine crisp, juicy flavours and just a touch of tart during the summertime, all wrapped up in the seductive sweetness of vanilla undertones.
