HEPP'S CHAMPAGNE MOJITOS

This recipe didn't make it in time for our Oscar Party Must Haves segment but it should have.  I am a big fan of Mojitos but this champagne twist brings it to a whole new level.  Try it with our Ginger sugar for the rim and the simple syrup. Ingredients:

• 6 fresh mint leaves
• 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 ounce HEPP'S Sweet Fusion Ginger Sugar Simple Syrup
• 1 1/2 ounces rum, preferably 10 Cane
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters
• 2 ounces Champagne or Prosecco, chilled
• HEPP'S Sweet Fusion Ginger Sugar raw for rimming 

Directions:

1. In a cocktail shaker, muddle together mint, lime juice, and HEPP'S Ginger simple syrup to release mint oils.
2.  Add rum and bitters; shake over ice.
3. Coat rim with lime juice and dip in HEPP'S Ginger Sugar,
4.  Strain into a cocktail glass or coupe.
5.  Top with Champagne.
