Mojito

Fresh mint, bright lime, rum, and enough ice to make a hot afternoon feel manageable. The Mojito is basically a vacation you can drink. It's light, lively, and dangerously easy to order again once you've finished the first one. While the Old Fashioned wants you to slow down and think about every sip, the Mojito just wants you to enjoy yourself. That's a pretty convincing argument. But the Margarita has its own citrus-powered fan club, and the Piña Colada brings a richer, sweeter version of tropical escape. Even the Gin & Tonic has something to say about which drink handles the heat best. When the sun is out and the drinks menu lands in front of you, is anything beating a cold Mojito?
