Bring on a twist of flavour with this ANGOSTURA® iconic cocktail, synonymous with the sub-tropical and beach lifestyle of Havana, Cuba.
Herbs like mint and basil have been prized for centuries by traditional healers for their medicinal properties, improving brain function and promoting digestive health. Today, both herbs are popular ingredients with both chefs and mixologists alike.
The Strawberry & Basil Mojito is a classic taken to another level by infusing fresh seasonal strawberries with the refreshingly sweet and floral flavour of basil, and bringing it all together with a couple of dashes of ANGOSTURA® aromatic bitters. This cocktail is also perfect for jugs and sharing!
