Answer 1

MMMM! A Mojito is heaven in a glass!  It is a white rum based drink (usually bacardi) made with ice, crushed mint leaves, soda and brown sugar.  You mush the sugar and leaves in the bottom of the glass, add the rum, loads of ice and top up with soda to taste.  It is gorgeous - try one.

From Wikipedia:

Mojito (IPA: /moʊˈhiːtoʊ/; Spanish pronunciation: [moˈxito]) is a traditional Cuban highball cocktail.

A mojito is traditionally made of five ingredients: white rum, sugar (traditionally sugar cane juice), lime, carbonated water and mint. Its combination of sweetness and refreshing citrus and mint flavors are intended to mask the potent kick of the rum, and have made this clear highball a popular summer drink. Many hotels in Havana also add Angostura bitters to cut the sweetness of the mojito; while a popular variation, it is not the original version created in La Bodeguita del Medio[1].

When preparing a mojito, lime juice is added to sugar (or syrup) and mint leaves. The mixture is then gently mashed with a muddler. The mint leaves should only be bruised to release the essential oils and must not be shredded. Then rum is added and the mixture is briefly stirred to dissolve the sugar and to lift the mint sprigs up from the bottom for better presentation. Finally, the drink is topped with ice cubes and sparkling water, and mint leaves and lime wedges are used to garnish the glass.[2]

The mojito is one of the more famous rum-based highballs in the world. There are several different versions of the mojito
