Mojito Cocktail Recipe

Preparing a Mojito cocktail is quite easy, and honestly, it’s still a very refreshing drink. The classic Mojito recipe consists of lime juice, sugar (or syrup), and mint leaves. Then you have to mash this mixture gently with a muddler. The mint leaves should only be bruised — not shredded — to release the essential oils and flavors. This is the typical kind of drink that is proposed in summer. Thisis a variation of the classic Mojito cocktail with white rum, but with a different twist; I have replaced sparkling water with lemonade. This cocktail will surely delight your man!
