- Pick the leaves off the mint and clap them between your hands to release the aroma, and add them into the dispenser.
- Pour in the White Rum and Sparkling Water. Stir the mixture together then gently add the crushed ice until the dispenser is full. Give your mojito mixture another thorough mix.
- Place your glass under the tap of the dispenser, ensuring that the dispenser lid is open to allow the mixture to flow. Fill your glass with tasty home-made mojito, pop in a little more crushed ice and some lime slices & voila!
