The Walled Garden

The Walled Garden reimagines the classic Mojito with a delicate floral twist, inspired by one of Wimbledon's most charming gathering places. Fresh mint, lemon, sparkling soda and Parfait d'Amour combine to create a light, refreshing cocktail with the subtle colours and elegance of an English summer garden.
Finished with a fresh strawberry and a generous sprig of mint, it celebrates the relaxed atmosphere surrounding The Championships rather than the action on Centre Court itself. Crisp, refined and beautifully refreshing, it is the perfect drink for English Summer Afternoons.

Instructies

  • Fill a tall glass with 8–10 fresh mint leaves and pour in the Parfait d'Amour.
  • Using a muddler, gently press the mint 2–3 times to release its aromatic oils. Do not over-muddle.
  • Fill the glass with crushed ice.
  • Add the white rum and fresh lime juice, then top up with chilled soda water.
  • Stir gently from the bottom upwards to combine the ingredients while preserving the fresh mint aromas.
    • As the cocktail is stirred, the Parfait d'Amour may briefly remain beneath the crushed ice before slowly blending into the drink, creating a subtle lavender gradient. It is a small detail, but a beautiful nod to the layered colours of an English summer garden.
  • Garnish with a generous sprig of fresh mint and half a fresh strawberry.
  • Serve immediately with a straw.
    • For a quicker home version, replace the soda water with 125 ml Fever-Tree Mojito Mixer. Because the mixer already contains sweetness and lime, add approximately 15 ml fresh lemon juice to keep the cocktail bright and refreshing.

Notities

History:

 Inspired by The Walled Garden at Wimbledon, a beautifully landscaped meeting place where visitors gather to enjoy great food, drinks and the unique atmosphere of The Championships surrounded by flowers and greenery.
Rather than recreating the traditional strawberries-and-cream experience, this cocktail celebrates another side of Wimbledon: its iconic purple and green floral displays, elegant English gardens and relaxed summer atmosphere.
The delicate floral aromas of Parfait d'Amour pair surprisingly well with fresh mint, creating a refreshing Mojito with a distinctive Wimbledon character.
Whether enjoyed while watching Centre Court or simply relaxing in the garden on a sunny afternoon, The Walled Garden is designed to capture the spirit of an English summer.
