Variations of the Traditional Cuban Mojito
A traditional mojito, which is native to Cuba, consists of five basic ingredients; white rum, lemon juice or lime juice, sugar cane juice (to sweeten the cocktail), carbonated water and a few mint leaves.
Lime juice is combined with sugar and mint leaves and gently muddled with a muddler. White rum is then stirred in gently to mix the sugar and lift mint leaves from the bottom. Finally club soda is added to the glass and some crushed ice cubes are added to chill the drink. But you can try a number of variations of the traditional mojito to keep yourself refreshed and chilled this summer.
