At The Little Nell, we love fresh ingredients in our cuisine and cocktails, from vegetables and herbs to edible flowers. To complement our complimentary weekly garden tours in the summer, our bartenders at element 47, created the “Mountain Mojito”, which can be made as a cocktail or mocktail (sans the rum). For this summer drink, they pick fresh mint leaves straight from The Nell’s garden.
Best enjoyed at The Nell, poolside in view of the living wall. For when you’re not here as our guest, you can make this refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) at home with the recipe below, and pick up fresh mint at your local farmer’s market.
