A bright, refreshing drink you can mix in minutes
A mojito is one of those cocktails that feels fresh, light, and easy. With simple ingredients and a little muddling, you get a cool drink that’s perfect for warm days or relaxed evenings at home. The mix of lime, mint, and a touch of sweetness makes it crisp without being heavy, and it comes together quickly with no special tools needed.
