Italian Mojito is a refreshing twist on the classic mojito, incorporating Italian flavors for a unique and aromatic experience. Instead of traditional white rum, it often uses Limoncello, an Italian lemon liqueur, which adds a sweet and citrusy depth. The drink retains the signature mint leaves, lime, sugar, and soda water, but the Limoncello gives it a distinctly Mediterranean touch. Some variations may also include basil instead of mint for an extra Italian flair. It’s a light, zesty cocktail perfect for summer sipping!
