The Tequila Mojito is a vibrant twist on the classic Cuban cocktail, infused with the bold spirit of Mexico. By swapping rum for blanco tequila, this cocktail gains a unique character while retaining its herbaceous freshness. Mint, lime, and sparkling water come together in perfect harmony, making it the ideal drink for a summer terrace or a sunny aperitif.

• 5 cl blanco tequila
• 8 fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 lime (cut into wedges)
• 2 cl cane sugar syrup
• 8 cl sparkling water
• Garnish: mint sprig, lime wheel

1. In a highball glass, gently muddle the lime wedges with the sugar syrup.
2. Add the mint leaves (without crushing them to preserve their aroma).
3. Pour in the blanco tequila, then fill the glass with ice cubes.
4. Top with chilled sparkling water.
5. Stir gently with a bar spoon.
6. Garnish with a mint sprig and a lime wheel.

- Swap cane syrup for agave nectar for an even more Mexican twist.
- Add cucumber slices for an ultra-refreshing version.
- Serve in a frosted glass for maximum chill.
