Traditionally served in a highball glass, this drink combines the aromatic freshness of muddled mint leaves with the tangy zest of lime, creating a harmonious blend that invigorates the senses. The addition of white rum introduces a smooth and slightly sweet undercurrent, which is balanced by the crispness of soda water. The subtle sweetness is further enhanced by sugar, making the Cuban Mojito a delightful concoction that's both cooling and vibrant, ideal for sipping on a hot summer day or as a lively accompaniment to a social gathering.
