This is classic Caribbean drink, exotic alternative to plain gin & tonic that it is not only healthier but also taste better, in my opinion.

As I’m not a big fan of gin (in any form) I only prepared this drink out of curiosity after my husband told me how they used to drink gin back home in Dominica… still spiced mojito is one of my favourite drinks.

INGREDIENTS

• tin / 330 ml of sweetened coconut water (chilled, without bits)
• shot of gin / 25 ml

• ice cubes to serve – optional

METHOD

1. Combine all of the ingredients and enjoy.
