TÖST-tito is a minty, citrus-forward cocktail made with fresh lime juice, Dorset Maple Reserve Smoked Maple Syrup, fresh mint leaves, light rum, and TÖST. Bright, refreshing, and lightly sparkling, this mojito-inspired cocktail delivers a balanced mix of citrus, herbs, sweetness, and bubbles that feels perfect for warm-weather entertaining.
Fresh lime juice gives the drink crisp acidity and brightness, while mint adds a cooling aroma and refreshing finish. The smoked maple syrup brings a richer, deeper sweetness than traditional simple syrup, adding subtle warmth and complexity to the cocktail. Light rum provides the original cocktail structure, while TÖST finishes the drink with delicate bubbles and a crisp sparkling lift that keeps it light and easy to sip.
This sparkling rum cocktail is ideal for summer gatherings, casual parties, outdoor dinners, patio nights, and warm afternoons with friends. It has the familiar freshness of a mojito-style drink, but the smoked maple syrup gives it a more elevated and unexpected flavor profile. The mint and lime keep the cocktail vibrant and refreshing, while TÖST adds balance and wine-like complexity.
Although the original recipe includes rum, TÖST-tito can easily be transformed into a non-alcoholic mocktail by leaving out the rum or using a zero-proof rum alternative. Even without alcohol, the combination of lime, mint, maple syrup, and TÖST creates a layered and satisfying drink that still feels complete and thoughtfully crafted.
The non-alcoholic appeal is especially strong because this recipe works beautifully as both a cocktail and a mocktail. Whether guests are drinking alcohol or not, both versions still feel polished, celebratory, and refreshing, making it an ideal option for mixed-group entertaining.
