The centuries-old Cuban mojito is an enduring favorite for a reason. Fresh lime, mint and sugar all dance together in this sweet, effervescent cocktail that just hits the spot. We’ve subbed out the classic white rum for Pennsylvania Vidal Blanc, which bring notes of bright citrus, pineapple and stone fruit to the drink.
This is a quick and crowd-pleasing cocktail for a get-together, dinner on the patio, or for just cooling down at the end of a long summer day.
