Mojito
Cuban highball of white rum, lime, cane sugar, fresh mint and soda water over ice.
About Mojito
The mojito is a Cuban highball built from white rum, lime, cane sugar, mint and soda water. This profile follows the International Bartenders Association formula rather than a fruit-flavoured variation.
White rum gives a light cane-spirit warmth, sharpened by fresh lime and softened by sugar. Mint adds a cooling herbal aroma while soda water keeps the drink bright and refreshing.
It is a clear, sparkling drink served tall over ice, with green mint suspended through the glass. The texture is lively and lightly sweet, with brisk bubbles and a cold, diluted finish.
