If you are looking for a great cocktail that possesses an acquired taste, I truly recommend the mojito. The mojito is traditionally made up of just five ingredients, which include white rum, sparkling water, lime juice, sugar cane juice, and authentic mint leaves. You can make your own sugar cane juice, however; adding sugar to the drink, with some water works just as good. The mojito is usually served in a Collins Glass, but there are instances where it is served in other glasses. The ingredients in this Cuban inspired cocktail are not in all equal parts, however; they work together to create the ultimate mixture that is not only delectable, but ultimately satisfying.
