❄️🌿Winter Mint Mojito magic
Did you know that the mojito may have started out as a medicinal drink in Cuba?
One origin story says that an early version of the mojito was used to treat certain illnesses as far back as the 16th century.
Traditionally made with lime juice, mint, sugar, white rum, and soda water, this cocktail is one of the oldest mixed drinks still popular today.
While it’s usually served during the hot summer months, there’s no reason we can’t enjoy this tropical delight in the winter time too. 😉
