Altos Tequila Mojito: The Best Version
Add agave syrup, lime juice, and mint to a bowl and gently muddle. Pour the mixture into a glass and add crushed ice. Add tequila and soda. Decorate with a slice of lemon or lime.
The mojito is a refreshing and delicious drink that combines the flavor of fresh mint with the sweetness of lime and sugar. It is traditionally prepared with rum, but this time we are going to prepare a mojito with tequila to give it a spicier and more original touch.
To do this, we can use both reposado tequila and white tequila, depending on the flavor profile you are looking for in your mojito.
