Mojito Recipe
The taste of fresh mint and lime always takes me to a happy summertime place! Add pineapple and I’m in the tropics! Mojitos, the traditional highball of Cuba, are typically made with white rum, sugar, lime juice, sparkling water, and mint. Add fresh pineapple and make them with pineapple rum and you’ve gone tropical. Switch out the sparking water for lemon lime soda and you’ll have a pitcher of Pineapple Mojito Punch! Born in the city of Havana on the island of Cuba, the Mojito became internationally popular when the renowned writer Ernest Hemingway took a liking to the drink while visiting a local Cuban bar. He then began drinking the cocktail when he returned to Key West in the states and its popularity took off! So relax, kick up your feet and enjoy the company of family and friends while you sip on a Pineapple Mojito….and give thanks that the Mojito went international!
