The traditional mojito has been given a small twist, but it still creates an amazing summer beverage. Champagne can be substituted with sparkling wine, if preferred. Insert a mint sprig as garnish.

Reviews
I’ve never had a traditional mojito so I didn’t have anything to compare this with but it sure was good! It was the perfect blend of sweet and tart and it packed a punch.
