Mojito

A classic and refreshing cocktail, the Mojito is a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and minty flavors. This iconic Cuban drink is sure to transport you to a sunny beachside paradise. Ingredients: - 2 oz white rum - 1 oz fresh lime juice - 1 oz simple syrup - 8-10 fresh mint leaves - Soda water - Ice cubes Instructions: 1. Start by muddling the mint leaves and lime juice in a cocktail shaker or a tall glass. This will help release the mint's aromatic oils and lime's tangy flavor. 2. Add the simple syrup and white rum to the shaker or glass. If using a shaker, gently shake the mixture to combine the ingredients. If using a glass, stir well. 3. Fill a highball glass or a Collins glass with ice cubes. 4. Pour the mixture from the shaker or glass into the ice-filled glass, straining out the mint leaves. 5. Top off the glass with soda water, adding about 2-3 ounces or until desired taste is achieved. 6. Give it a gentle stir to mix everything together. 7. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wheel. 8. Serve immediately and enjoy the Cuban flavors of this delightful Mojito!
