Mojito
Mojito is an alcoholic cocktail native to Cuba. Traditionally, it consists of a mixture of five ingredients, including white rum, sugar, lime juice, club soda and mint (usually spearmint). Also, it contains ice, so this refreshing cocktail (or highball) is a perfect drink for summer. There are a lot of variations of the traditional mojito (for example, using pineapple juice instead of rum, for a non-alcoholic mojito), but this is an easy recipe to prepare a classical mojito:
