love it! I've had good mojitos and bad mojitos. This one is outstanding, not too sweet, not too bland, just the right balance especially for a summer afternoon.
Classic Mojito
This Cuban cocktail is fast becoming a favorite in Puerto Rico; the mint and sugar go well with our traditional dishes. If you have access to Key limes, use those for the most authentic flavor.
