It is best served over ice and garnished with a slice of lime and a sprig of mint for a perfect summer drink.

FAQ's

PREPARATION_TECHNIQUES

To properly muddle the mint leaves for a Bacardi Lemon Mojito, place the mint leaves and sugar syrup in the bottom of the cocktail glass.

This adjustment allows you to maintain the cocktail's character while using what you have available.
