What is a Mojito?
The Mojito is defined as much by freshness and texture as by individual ingredients. Mint aroma, lime acidity, sweetness, ice and carbonation should remain distinct rather than becoming flat or overly sweet.
What to notice
Usually served tall over ice. Compare versions by freshness of mint, lime balance, carbonation and whether sweetness overwhelms the drink.
Alcohol-free option
This style adapts naturally to alcohol-free drinking: mint, lime, sweetener and sparkling water retain much of the familiar experience.
