When you think of the perfect summer cocktail,does something light, refreshing, tasty, and, of course, ice cold come to mind?. So how about A Classic Mojito.The combination of fresh mint, lime juice, white rum, sugar, and sparkling water is crisp, delicious, and extremely refreshing.

Summer Season- the season of light and refreshing cocktails. And if you love this Mojitto you also need to try my Mango Margarita or the Classic Hurricane Cocktail.

Mojitos and me, mint to be


Mojitos have been around forever, and have deep roots in Cuba. Cuban farmers would make super strong rum taste better by mixing it with sugar-cane juice, mint, and lime. During the Prohibition, the mojito made its way to the U.S., where it was mixed with carbonated water and lots of ice.

Want to hear something realy crazy, in all my trips to Cuba I never once tried a Mojito whil I was there. What a waste. Kind of lik when I went to Hawaii and never ate Pineapple. I was always late to the party at discovering local delacacies. Not anymore, now i make sure to sample as I go because you never know what might be around te corner waiting for you.
