So What's a MOJITO:
Definition: The
MOJITO is the national drink of Cuba. It is
as enjoyable as a summer vacation on the
beach. It is made by combining mint (called
"herbal Buena" or "good herb" in Cuba) with
syrup, lime juice, rum and club soda. The
word "major" means "assemble" or "mixture"
and that is exactly what this cocktail is: a
very enjoyable and harmonious mixture of
aromatic and tasteful ingredients.
