Instructions
- In a sturdy glass, add mint leaves and simple syrup. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint to release its natural oils. Be careful not to tear the mint, as this can make the drink bitter.

- Garnish your cherry mojito with a sprig of fresh mint, a lime wedge, and a cherry for a vibrant and festive presentation.

- For the freshest flavor, always use freshly squeezed lime juice and fresh mint leaves.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup to suit your taste.
- Use crushed ice for a more authentic mojito experience and better mixing of flavors.
- Mocktail Version: Replace the rum with a zero-proof alternative or add more sparkling water for a refreshing, alcohol-free option.
