Mad About Mojitos
A mojito is a rum based minty drink which has always been popular in Cuba. However, the drink has now become a favorite in many parts of the Southern and Eastern USA. The classic ingredients of this great drink include white rum, sugar, lime, carbonated soda and mint. The drink is a combination of a sweet taste with minty flavor and the rum adds a kick to it. Mojito, unfortunately is not the bartenders favorite drink to make.
The lime juice is usually added to the sugar cane syrup and mint leaves- this is the sticky part. The rum is added next and the drink is served with ice and sparkling water. Lime slices are always used as garnish.
Over the years, several different versions of this Cuban drink have emerged. The mojito is definitely a refreshing drink for a hot summer day, the freshness of the juice quenches the thirst and the rum immediately soothes the mind.

I almost picked up a Mojito mix today, but we don’t have any club soda around. That’ll be my next drink to try, though - it sounds really good.
