Mojito

A Mojito is a popular cocktail that originated in Cuba and is known for its refreshing and minty flavor. It typically consists of the following key ingredients:

• 2 oz white rum

• ¾ oz lime juice

• ¾ oz simple syrup

• Club soda

• 3-4 fresh mint leaves and sprig for garnish

• Lime wheel garnish

Muddle the mint leaves in simple syrup in a cocktail shaker.  Add ice, lime juice, and rum. Shake well and strain into a Collins glass filled with ice.  Top with club soda and garnish with mint sprig and lime wheel.

Mojitos are known for their vibrant green color, refreshing taste, and the balance of sweet, sour, and minty flavors. They are a popular choice for warm-weather occasions and are often served at bars, restaurants, and summer gatherings.
