The Mojito is a classic Cuban cocktail known for its refreshing and citrusy flavor. It’s made with white rum, fresh lime juice, sugar (or simple syrup), fresh mint leaves, soda water, and ice. The drink is typically served in a highball glass, garnished with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge.
The flavor profile of a Mojito is a perfect balance of sweetness, acidity, and herbal freshness. The mint adds a cooling sensation, while the lime provides a tangy kick, and the rum gives it a smooth, slightly sweet undertone.
