mojito-ice-cubes

These mojito-inspired ice cubes make the perfect day-after long drink. Packed with lime and mint flavours, they are delicious in a tall glass, topped up with fizzy water.

You can make a big batch well ahead of time and store the ice cubes in an airtight container in the freezer until required.
