Mojito Recipe With a New Twist

June 10, 2019 – The Mojito is so popular that it has its own day for celebration -– Thursday, July 11 is National Mojito Day.

The Mojito comes to us from Cuba and who better than Bacardi to offer a new take on this classic cocktail.  The latest addition to their rum portfolio is Bacardi Lime, the perfect sweet and zesty base for a tall, cool drink on a hot summer afternoon.

Sipping this iconic Cuban highball in the shade of the big umbrella of a sidewalk café is the stuff of movies set in Old Havana.

And since you have a bottle of Bacardi Lime on hand, try the Bacardi Lime Frozen Daiquiri that we recommended for Independence Day.

2 parts Bacardi Lime Flavored Rum

4 lime wedges

6-8 fresh mint leaves

2 tbsp castor sugar (superfine sugar)

1 part club soda

1 sprig of fresh mint for garnish
