Mojito
Mint, lime, rum and soda. Cool, simple and endlessly drinkable.
Before the frozen versions, there was the daiquiri: rum, lime and sugar, shaken hard and served up. It is the best test of a bar, because there is nowhere to hide.
Balance is everything, and consistent syrup is half of it. Barddies Simple Syrup gives you the same sweetness every time, so you can focus on the shake.
