The star ingredient is the Lemon rum, which adds a zesty and tangy flavor to the drink.

The addition of sugar syrup brings a touch of sweetness and balances out the tartness of the lemon. This cocktail is perfect for those who love a light and refreshing drink with a hint of citrus. 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

How do I properly muddle the mint leaves for a Bacardi Lemon Mojito?

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. Use a muddler to gently press the mint leaves against the glass to release their oils. Do not shred the leaves; the goal is to bruise them to release flavor, not to tear them apart. This technique ensures the mint flavor is evenly distributed throughout the drink.

Can I use a different type of rum if I don't have lemon rum for a Bacardi Lemon Mojito?

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