The mojito is a classic cocktail with origins from Cuba. Modern variations of this fantastic beverage are endless. To shake things up you can add a muddled fruit of your choice such as berries or pineapple. You can also substitute the soda water filler for your favorite flavored sparkling beverage. Using an ounce or so of a fruit puree can transform this drink and make it your own. This video will show you how to make a mojito in its basic form.
