Mint

Mint is a fragrant herb that adds a cooling, refreshing aroma and flavor to cocktails, often used fresh as a garnish or muddled for infusion. It plays a central role in drinks like the Mojito and the Mint Julep, where it provides brightness and herbal complexity. Mint pairs well with citrus, berries, and a wide range of spirits, from rum to bourbon. Its crisp, clean character makes it especially popular in light, summery, and revitalizing cocktails.
