How to Make a Perfect Cuban Mojito

After years of travel to Cuba, I have enjoyed several refreshing and minty mojitos from the Nacional Hotel in Havana and the beaches of Varadero to the Pearl of the South, Cienfuegos. From my research with master mixologists in Cuba, I will gift you the best Cuban mojito recipe that you can share with others (as it is made for four).
