Cocktail Colin says:
The Strawberry Gin Mojito artfully plays with the classic mojito's charm by introducing gin and strawberries, offering a botanical twist that complements the freshness of mint. The addition of tonic brings a delightful effervescence that uplifts the sweet and tart profiles of the strawberries, making it an invigorating choice for those balmy afternoons or lively evenings.

Quick and simple to whip up. Enjoyed the balance of sweet and tangy with a nice hit of freshness from the strawberries and mint. Sub'd lime for lemon—worked well. Next time, might reduce sugar syrup just a touch. Overall, a solid addition to my cocktail rotation.
