This delicious green cocktail is an incredible twist on the classic Mojito recipe that swaps rum for gin. It has been developed by the wonderful team at Pennington’s Spirits & Liqueurs to celebrate one the Lake District’s most famous sweet treats, Kendal Mint Cake, a peppermint-flavoured tablet notably used by explorers like Sir Edmond Hilary and Sir Ernest Shackleton to help give them an energy boost.
The Kendal Mint Mojito is brimming with fragrant mint flavours, along with a touch of chocolate and the rich, juniper-forward notes of Pennington’s Lakeland Moon Snowfell Gin, our January 2021 Gin of the Month. A hit of lime then gives every sip a joyful brightness.
You need to give this gin cocktail a go!
