The lightness of ice and the harmony of citrus and mint syrup make it an ideal choice for summer evenings or festive gatherings. The drink is served with pieces of grapefruit and garnished with mint, creating an exquisite presentation. Grapefruit-mint mojito is not just a cocktail but a vivid impression that awakens the senses and provides a feeling of coolness.
