A refreshing twist on the classic mojito that swaps traditional simple syrup for homemade orange blossom syrup. This elevated version combines fresh mint, lime, white rum, and sparkling water with delicate floral notes that add an aromatic, sophisticated touch. Light and bright, it's perfect for warm-weather gatherings, brunches, or any time you want a classic cocktail with a unique floral flair.
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, muddle the lime slices, mint leaves, and orange blossom syrup until the mint is bruised and the lime releases its juice.
Fill a tall glass with ice.
Pour the muddled mixture into the glass.
Add the rum and give it a good stir.
Top with sparkling water.
Garnish with a lime wheel and a few extra mint leaves.
