Ooh La La (Mojito Inspired Elderflower Cocktail from DCL)
The Ooh La La cocktail is a mojito-inspired drink combining white rum, elderflower liqueur, mint leaves, lime wedges, and black cherry garnish. The lime and mint are muddled to release fresh flavors, shaken with rum, St. Germain, and ice, then strained into a glass with cherry syrup and topped with seltzer water for effervescence. It offers a bright, aromatic, and subtly floral twist on a classic mojito.
