Ingredients to make original Cuban Mojito:

How to make original Cuban Mojito:
- Put the finely crushed ice in a container and fill with soda or mineral water, drop 2 or 3 drops of Angostura bitters. Reserve for later.
- Take a glass of whiskey and add the mint leaves and two tablespoons of sugar. With a mortar, we crush the mint well so that it releases its juice and mixes with the sugar.
- Then we add the rumand lemon juice. Fill the glass with the crushed ice that we have reserved and, if we wish, we can drop 1 or 2 more drops of Angostura bitters. Finally, we decorate with mint and enjoy!
- If the first time you notice that the Cuban mojitois too bitter for you, you should keep trying until you find the quantities that suit your personal tastes.
