Tequila Mojito Cocktail Recipe
Mexico meets Cuba in this twist on the classic Mojito! This Tequila Mojito takes the familiar freshness of mint, lime and soda and gives it a spirited agave-driven twist by swapping rum for blanco tequila, creating a drink that’s bright, crisp and herb-forward with a subtle citrus zing. The cool mint and tart lime juice lift the tequila’s natural agave character, while a touch of sweetness and fizzy soda make it easy-going and fresh - perfect for poolside afternoons, backyard gatherings or anytime you want something lively with a little extra personality. It’s a vibrant fusion that proves great flavours know no borders, celebrating the best of both Mexican and Cuban inspirations.
