Classic Mojito Recipe: Refreshing Cuban Cocktail Guide

Traditionally, a Mojito is a cocktail that consists of five ingredients: white rum, sugar, lime juice, soda water, and mint. 

The original Cuban recipe uses spearmint or yerba buena, a mint variety very popular on the island. Its combination of sweetness, refreshing citrus, and mint flavors is intended to complement the potent kick of the rum.
