The mojito is a classic Cuban cocktail made with white rum, fresh mint, lime juice, club soda, sugar, and ice. The white rum is the main alcohol used in the drink, and it is what gives the mojito its signature flavor. While rum is the best option for this drink, gin can be used as a substitute if youre all out of rum. The amount of sugar, mint, or rum can be adjusted to customize the drink to your liking. The mojito is a refreshing and fizzy cocktail that is perfect for summertime or anytime you want a cool and refreshing drink.
