The Gin Mojito offers a refreshing twist on the traditional mojito by swapping out rum for gin. This vibrant cocktail is just as revitalizing and perfect for summer gatherings or a relaxing evening. The combination of gin, mint, lime, and soda water creates a drink that is both invigorating and easy to make.

- 1 oz Sugar Syrup
- 2 oz gin
- 2 to 4 oz soda water
- Ice for serving (try clear ice)
Instructions
Muddle the Mint:
- In a cocktail shaker, muddle the mint leaves to release their essential oils. This enhances the flavor of the drink.
Add Liquids and Ice:
