Pineapple ginger mojitos with spiced rum – a sweet and spicy twist on the classic cocktail. Ideal for summer barbecues, or simply to relax at the end of a hard week, this cocktail totally hits the spot. Since the recipe involves reducing pineapple juice down to make it more concentrated – and therefore more sweet – there’s really no need to add any more sugar in there.
