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 that Cuban feeling straight into the glass!
Mojito originally comes from Havana, so white, Cuban rum is used for the classic preparation. By pressing the fine mint leaves, the essential oils are released, which ensures a fresh aroma in the glass. Mojito is served classically in a long drink glass.
