Fresh mint, white rum, loads of lime. Cuba's greatest gift to a hot evening.
A note from us
The mint technique makes or breaks a mojito. Press the stem gently to release the aroma — never crush the leaves or you will get a bitter, muddy drink. Cane sugar is more traditional than simple syrup and gives a slightly different texture that feels more authentic.

How to make it 👨🍳
Add the mint and sugar to the glass. Using a muddler press down on the mint STEMS gently and twist — you want to release the oils not shred the leaves. Over-muddling mint makes it bitter and turns it an unpleasant dark colour. Just a gentle press is all you need — 4 or 5 firm twists and stop.
Add the Fresh lime juice and stir briefly.
Fill the glass with Ice.
Pour in the White rum.
Top with Soda water and give it one slow stir.
Garnish with the lime wedge and mint sprig. Slap the mint sprig between your palms first — it wakes up the aroma.
