The Cuban Mojito
A bottle of Havana Club brought home from Cuba, some muddled mint, and the easiest end-of-day cocktail you'll make all season.
2 oz Cuban Rum
1.5 oz Lime juice
6 Mint Leaves
1 tsp Sugar
top. Club Soda
To Build:
Place your lime juice, sugar and mint in the bottom of your glass. Use a muddler to bruise the mint and begin melting the sugar. Add ice and rum to glass and stir to chill. Top with club soda and a fresh sprig of mint and a lime wedge.
The Mojito is Cuba’s oldest cocktail. We were lucky enough here at the DUN offices to have a good friend head down to Cuba this year. We told him not to come back unless he brought us a bottle of Havana Club Rum. We must have given him so much good advice on catching tarpon, because he showed up at the offices smelling of tarpon, with a bottle of 7 year old Havana Club rum in hand. Lucky us. After sampling some neat, it was Mojitos all around.
Since our bottle is nearly empty, if you venture to Cuba, be sure to send us a bottle!
