The mojito only has five ingredients, so each one has to be right. Fresh mint, fresh lime, a good white rum, soda, and a sweetener that dissolves instantly in cold liquid.

That last one is simple syrup. Barddies Simple Syrup gives clean, neutral sweetness with no grit, so you can build the drink straight in the glass.

Ingredients

2 oz (60 ml) white rum
¾ oz (22 ml) fresh lime juice
¾ oz (22 ml) Barddies Simple Syrup
6 to 8 fresh mint leaves
2 oz (60 ml) soda water
Crushed ice

Method

Add the mint, lime juice and Barddies Simple Syrup to a highball glass. Press the mint gently, do not shred it.
Add the rum and fill the glass with crushed ice.
Stir briefly to chill, then top with soda water.
Garnish with a mint sprig and a lime wedge.
