The Bacardi Lemon Mojito is a refreshing and citrusy twist on the classic Mojito cocktail. The star ingredient is the Lemon rum, which adds a zesty and tangy flavor to the drink. The mint leaves provide a burst of freshness while the soda water and lime juice give the cocktail a good amount of fizz and tang. The addition of sugar syrup brings a touch of sweetness and balances out the tartness of the lemon. This cocktail is perfect for those who love a light and refreshing drink with a hint of citrus. It is best served over ice and garnished with a slice of lime and a sprig of mint for a perfect summer drink.
