Tequila Mojito de Flor

A popular cocktail with global appeal, the Mojito lives up to the magic of its namesake. What began as a medicinal drink to ward off illness, the Mojito found it's popularity after associations with pirates, Ernest Hemingway and the James Bond film franchise (it's not just the martini!)

It's important not to cut the mint, but just bruise it so the essential oils can be released
