Mojito

No one can resist Havana's famous highball. Fresh mint and lime, shaken up hard with gum syrup and light rum.

Our instructions forego muddling, as we've found a hard shake with a few cubes suffices to extract the mint flavor, while speeding up the drink making process.

Ingredients:

• ½ oz Classic Gum Syrup
• ¾ oz lime juice
• 2 oz light rum
• soda water
• 6-8 mint leaves 

Instructions:

• Add all ingredients except soda to a cocktail shaker
• Add 2-3 cubes of ice and shake for 10 seconds
• Strain into a highball glass filled with crushed ice
• Top with 1-2 oz club soda and stir
• Garnish with a fresh sprig of mint

Glass:

• highball

Garnish:

• mint sprig
