Classic mojito
Mojito is one of the most popular cocktail classics. The drink made from rum, sugar, lime juice, mint and soda water is wonderfully refreshing and brings a Cuban feeling straight into the glass!
How do you make mojitos?
Mojito originally comes from Havana, so white, Cuban rum is used for the classic preparation. Pressing the fine mint leaves releases essential oils that ensure a fresh aroma in the glass. Mojito is served in the classic way in a long drink glass.
