Instructions

Imagine the rolling hills of Tuscany and the vibrant sunsets over its vineyards captured in a glass. The Tuscan Sunset Mojito is a drink that embodies the essence of Italy, combining the refreshing qualities of a classic Mojito with the rich flavors of Italian cuisine, excluding basil but introducing an innovative homemade sage and rosemary syrup to pay homage to Italy's robust herb-infused dishes. **Glass:** Highball **Ingredients:** - 60 ml White Rum (preferably one that is light and floral to complement the herbal notes) - 30 ml Homemade Sage and Rosemary Infusion Syrup (recipe below) - 15 ml Fresh Lemon Juice (to add a bright, citrusy contrast) - Sparkling Water (to top off and give the drink its refreshing effervescence) - Fresh Mint Leaves (about 10, for the classic Mojito vibe and freshness) - 2 Thin Slices of Cucumber (for an added layer of refreshment and a nod to the garden vegetables of Italy) - Lemon Wheel and a Sprig of Rosemary (for garnish) **Homemade Sage and Rosemary Infusion Syrup:** 1. Combine 200 ml water, 200 grams of granulated sugar, 10 fresh sage leaves, and 1 large sprig of rosemary in a saucepan. 2. Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar is dissolved. 3. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes. 4. Remove from the heat and let it cool completely; strain to remove the herbs. **Directions:** 1. In your highball glass, gently muddle the mint leaves and cucumber slices with the lemon juice to release their flavors. 2. Fill the glass with ice. 3. Pour in the white rum and sage and rosemary infusion syrup. 4. Stir well to mix the flavors. 5. Top off with sparkling water. 6. Garnish with a lemon wheel and a sprig of rosemary. The Tuscan Sunset Mojito offers a multi-layered drinking experience, where each sip begins with the aromatic herb infusion, transitions to the cool mint and cucumber, and finishes with the refreshing zest of lemon and effervescence of sparkling water. It's an Italian-inspired twist on the classic mojito that transports you directly to a sunset enjoyed from a Tuscan patio.
