There’s no better way to cool down on a hot day than with a mojito. Imported from Cuba, one of the rum capitals of the Caribbean, it’s light, minty, and entirely refreshing. At celebrated Havana bars, mojitos are an essential part of the nightly proceedings. A straightforward mix of rum, muddled fresh mint, lime juice, and soda, they’re as easy to make as they are to drink. They’re also the perfect partner for any of our Cuban recipes.
