Mojito,mojito, a real mojito. An excellent drink to cool you down ,but don't drive. Be sure to use a steel shaker and shake it very gently.

It's more "time consuming" because it's the correct way to make a mojito, and no, you never put soda in a shaker. Just muddle in a glass, add syrup and rum then stir, add ice then top with soda (and coconut milk for this one.

This is my new favorite Mojito, and I plan to use the delicious ginger simple syrup in other cocktails as well. I agree- no shaking unless you would rather wear the mojito. Stir until mixed and cold, then pour.
