One of my favourite drinks is the mojito. It's refreshing, it's delicious.
Raspberries can replace the strawberries if you like.

Recipe
Recipe adapted from Lorraine Pascale's cookbook 'Fast, Fresh and Easy Food
Makes 4
3 limes
8 tablespoons caster sugar, to taste
12 strawberries
400g crushed ice
small handful fresh mint
250ml white rum
250ml soda water
Cut the limes into quarters lengthways and put three pieces in the bottom of each of four 350ml serving glasses. Make sure the glasses are wide enough to fit the end of a rolling pin.
Add two tablespoons of sugar to each one. Then using the end of a rolling pin, squash everything together to squeeze the lime juice out and mix it with the sugar (you can now keep the lime pieces in the glass or discard them).
Hull the strawberries and add three to each glass. Then gently crush them a bit to.
Fill the glasses almost to the top with ice. Pick and reserve four nice mint sprigs from the bunch, set aside, then rip the remaining leaves off the stalks and scatter them onto the ice.
Divide the rum evenly between the glasses and then top with the soda water.
Mix everything with a spoon, then add a sprig of mint to each glass and serve immediately with a straw.
