How to make Cuban Mojito:
- To prepare an authentic mojito, the first thing you do is add the sugar and a lime cut into small pieces to the bottom of a wide-mouthed glass. Lightly press the lime against the sugar, so that it loosens the game, you can use a mortar.
- Then add the mint leaves and repeat the macerate, this time not so hard so as not to break the leaves. The mint can be substituted for fresh mint.
- Fill the glass with crushed ice and add the rum, mix everything with a long spoon, make upward movements so that the leaves rise.
- To finish our Cuban mojito, fill the rest of the glass with soda, add the drops of Angostura bitters and garnish with a lime wheel or a sprig of mint.
