Mojito- The Desi Ishtyle! ;)

Ingredients

1 bottle Smirnoff- (should be good for a party of 6)

1 bunch of sweet green grapes, washed and sliced into halves lengthwise

1 bunch of mint leaves, washed and leaves separated from stalk

2 limes, halved

Green Chillies

Slices of lime for garnish

Salt

Sprite

Ice- loads of it!

Preparation

In a large cocktail shaker add half the grapes and half of the mint leaves. Muddle (crush) the grapes and leaves with a pastel till you get the fragrance if the mint leaves.

Now add 1/2 bottle of Smirnoff into the shaker.

Pour in about 10 cubes of ice.

Squeeze 1/2 a lime.

Now give a generous shake of the cocktail shaker and set aside till you ready the glasses.

Wet the rim of the glass with a cut slice of lime. Up turn the glass on a plate of salt till the rim is coated with salt. Dust off excess salt.

Now pour a peg (suite yourself dearies!) of your choice into the glass.

Spoon out a liberal portion of grapes and mint leaves into the glass.

Add about 4 cubes of ice. Top up the glass with sprite.

Add a slit chili if you like! (beware of this one)

Add the lime piece as a decoration on the rim of the glass.

Serve with olives n cheese!

Caution: watch-out for those grapes, they can be seriously under estimated!!! ;)

Happy 'hic' time folks! Hope you enjoy my desi style Mojito's...do write in to let me know your story... :)

About

While all alcohol shops remain closed on day's like 26th Jan (in India) most families love to party. We did exactly the same during this mid week break. We celebrated with a bottle of Smirnoff and loads of mint with grapes. Sharing one of the most exciting recipes in my winter party do's!
Oh! Mojito originally is from Cuba which is a rum based drink but by the time it reached my home in Mumbai it changed into quiet a 'HOT' Vodka based Indian improvised drink. Hope you guy's enjoy it as much as all my guests do! :D Cheers...
