In honor of National Mojito Day (yes, it's a thing) we bring to you a classic recipe for this iconic Cuban cocktail.
To celebrate National Mojito Day we thought we would bring in an expert who really knows how to make this fantastic drink. Today, Jean Felix from Truffles on the Rocks is showing us how to make his Lazy Mojito.
Here is what you are going to need: white rum, limes, fresh mint, sugar or simple syrup, and some soda water. Take a look at the video below to see Jean Felix make this cocktail. Making this drink is easy, but it’s also all about the details (hint, you are going to want to slap your mint to wake it up).
In the video above Jean Felix also shares two more great mojito recipes if you are feeling more adventurous and want to keep the cocktail class going!
