Classic Mint Mojito
Minty, zingy and super refreshing on a warm, sunny day. This classic cocktail is made with white rum, mint leaves, soda water and sugar. Serve with a fresh wedge of lime and slap the mint between your palms before adding them to the glass to bring out the fragrant oils without bruising the leaves.
