Preparing Mojito With Simple Syrup
I made this raspberry mojito with the simple syrup.
It makes the cocktail evenly sweet, I don't like how sugar settles on bottom and doesn't get dissolved in some drinks.
Combination of tart raspberries, lime and fresh mint is refreshing to max.
Fresh berries - while I've some criticism from some readers for leaving flesh in this type of cocktails, I do believe that it should not be discarded.
If berry seeds bother you, then feel free to extract juice from the raspberries and leave the seeds out.
