A mojito is a classic cocktail made with white rum, lime juice, sugar, mint leaves and soda water. The ingredients are usually muddled together in the bottom of a glass, before adding ice and the rum, then topped with soda water. The result is a refreshing, light, and minty drink with a balance of sweetness, acidity, and a hint of rum. The drink is often associated with tropical or beach settings and is considered to be one of the most popular cocktails worldwide.
