Mojito

Mojito is a traditional Cuban highball. The Mojito was Ernest Hemingway's favorite drink. Ernest Hemingway made the bar called "La Bodeguita del medio" famous as he became one of its regulars. Unfortunately today, the mojito seems relatively unknown in the United States. Unfortunately, because of politics, Americans are missing out on something very good.
