Lime essential oil brings a crisp and refreshing citrus flavor to the mojito, while providing uplifting and revitalizing properties. Rich in antioxidants, it also helps to strengthen the immune system and promote better digestion.

Spearmint essential oil intensifies the freshness already present in the mojito thanks to the mint leaves. Its digestive and soothing properties make it an excellent choice for relieving mild digestive upset and bloating. It also has a cooling effect on the mind, helping to reduce mental fatigue.
