Classic Mojito

This simple mojito recipe features a homemade simple syrup that enhances the flavours, creating a standout cocktail. Instead of muddling the fresh mint leaves, simply slap them between your palms to release their aroma and flavour and you will have created an ultra-refreshing cocktail.

Be sure to use a superior white rum it can make all the difference; Bacardi Blanco is a great choice. Oh, and fresh lime juice all the way.
