Steps:
- Syrup: place the water and raw sugar in a saucepan over a medium low heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and add the lemongrass, ginger and kaffir lime leaves. Leave for a couple of hours or overnight before straining. The syrup will keep in a sterilised bottle for around 2 weeks.
- Mojito: place the syrup, lime and rum in a glass and muddle with a muddling stick to release all the juice from the lime. If you don't have a muddling stick you can use the end of a wooden spoon.
- Place the mint leaves in your hand and clap them together. Rub the mint leaves around the rim of the glass before popping them in the glass.
- Top with ice and sparkling water. Stir to make sure everything is well mixed, and garnish with lime wheels, a mint sprig and a lemongrass stalk.

Steps:
- Lemongrass simple syrup.
- Chop the lemongrass stalks into 1-inch pieces, and bruise using a mortar and pestle. Place them in a pot with 1 cup of water and 1/4 cup sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the syrup infuse for about 2 hours, or allow to cool and refrigerate for 24 hours.
- Strain the syrup, pressing down on the lemongrass stalks to extract maximum flavor. Chill until ready to use. Once the syrup is strained, it will also keep in your fridge for a couple of weeks.
- Cocktail.
- To build each cocktail, arrange 4 cocktail glasses on a work surface and place 1/2 teaspoon sugar in each glass. Add 1 lime slice into each glass along with a handful of Thai basil, and muddle together.
- Pour in 2 ounces rum and 2 ounces lemongrass syrup. Top with ice and club soda. Stir and serve.
Tips:
- Choose fresh ingredients: Use the freshest lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, ginger, and mint you can find for the best flavor.
- Prep your ingredients properly: Slice the lemongrass and ginger thinly, and tear the kaffir lime leaves into small pieces. This will help release their flavors more easily.
- Use a good quality rum: A light or white rum is best for this mojito, as it won't overpower the other flavors.
- Don't skimp on the lime juice: Fresh lime juice is essential for a good mojito. Use at least 1 ounce per drink.
- Sweeten to taste: Start with 1/2 ounce of simple syrup and add more to taste. You can also use honey or agave nectar instead of simple syrup.
- Chill your glasses: Chilling your glasses before serving will help keep your mojitos cold and refreshing.
- Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint: This will add a pop of color and freshness to your drink.
