The Mojito is the ultimate lime-and-mint refresher—bright, crisp, and wildly sessionable. Rum (or a zero proof alternative) brings a clean base, Top Hat Simple Syrup delivers smooth, consistent sweetness, and fresh mint adds that instantly recognizable garden aroma. Finish with Top Hat Club Soda for sharp bubbles that keep the drink light, snappy, and ultra-crushable.

A great mojito is all about balance: bright lime, gentle sweetness, and mint aroma—then bubbles to lift everything.
Method
- Add mint leaves and Top Hat Simple Syrup to a tall Collins or highball.
- Gently press the mint 2–3 times (don’t shred it—just release aroma).
- Add 1 oz fresh lime juice and 1.5 oz Rum (or Zero Proof Alternative).
- Fill the glass with fresh ice.
- Top with 5 oz Top Hat Club Soda.
- Stir gently once or twice to integrate while keeping bubbles lively.
- Garnish with a fresh mint sprig (slap it once to release aroma) and serve.
Pro move: “Mint bouquet” garnish = maximum aroma. Clap the mint sprig once, then tuck it beside a straw so your first sip pulls straight through the mint.
