ABOUT
Originally from Cuba, the Mojito is a cocktail loved by so many across the world. Though it is popular, it can easily be butchered. A good mojito should be light and refreshing with a hint of mint that doesn’t overpower the unaged rum and lime. Lightly muddling your mint is key! Cheers y’all!
