Aam Panna

Aam Panna, the showstopper, brings tanginess and a quintessential mango punch. It's 60ml because we need to maintain balance - less wouldn't be mango-licious, more and you’d be in a mango-overload! Without it, you'd lose the soul of this cocktail.

Emma Rose

White Rum

45ml of white rum - we need that kick, don't we? It's not a mojito without rum. Reduce it, and the cocktail might wave a white flag for lack of spirit. Increase it, and you risk overshadowing the delicate mango flavors.

Alex Green

Fresh Lime Juice

Fresh Lime Juice at 15ml gives that citrusy edge. Cut it out, and the cocktail might seem too sweet. Overdo it, and your drink resembles a sour face challenge.

Mint Leaves

Mint leaves are like fresh breath in a relationship - necessary. 8-10 leaves for the perfect minty backdrop. No mint? Well then, it's just not a mojito, is it?

Emma Rose

Sugar Syrup

Sugar Syrup (15ml) to sweeten the deal. It's a balancing act - too little, and the drink may pucker your lips; too much, and it’s candied chaos.

Alex Green

Club Soda

Club Soda (60ml) to top it off and add that fizz. Without it, the cocktail could fall flat - literally.

Mary Mitkina

Ice Cubes

Ice Cubes keep it cool, because no one likes a lukewarm mojito. Insufficient ice? Prepare for a diluted disaster as the ice melts too quickly.

Emma Rose

Garnish

Garnish because we eat (and drink) with our eyes too! It's about the looks and the flavor. A mint sprig adds aroma, and the mango slice is the edible exclamation point.
