The iconic flavor of a mojito is a refreshing combination of mint and lime. This classic Cuban cocktail is traditionally made with white rum, sugar (or simple syrup), fresh mint leaves, lime juice, and soda water. The mint provides a cooling, aromatic quality, while the lime adds a zesty tang. Together, they create a balanced, invigorating taste, perfect for warm weather. The mojito's distinctive flavor profile is enhanced by the muddling process, which releases the mint's oils and integrates the ingredients. It is a popular choice for those seeking a light, bubbly drink with a vibrant flavor.
