I had this vodka ginger mojito at our cousin’s house. She made it because she’d enjoyed something similar at a function.

I’m always adventurous when it comes to food and cocktails because not only do I like most things, but I don’t mind trying something and declaring that I don’t like it.

The combination of the flavors of the ingredients was so delicious that I went home and made ginger syrup and my own grapefruit vodka. Homemade is always best!

Helpful tips

• If you don’t have a muddler, a good alternative is using the back of a wooden spoon.
• If you don’t have time to make your own homemade grapefruit vodka, Absolut has a great version.
• Ginger simple syrup is delicious and lasts a long time in the refrigerator. It takes less than 20 minutes to make and is worth the effort.
