Description
Sometimes, all you need is a little Caribbean twist in your Mojito to add a little zest to your drink. Giovanni Martinez uses Havana Club 3 as the base and finishes it off with the Jamaican grapefruit soda Ting for that extra tang. He insists that the Mojito is a great drink, but because of its popularity, it’s gotten a bad rap since the end product is often over-muddled, resulting in a bitter profile. “Lime peel and beaten up mint aren’t great,” observes Martinez.
