Pronounced..."Mock-heeto" ,(for the CH, pretend you're trying to bring up
phlegm), spelt, Mojito, is very basically a mint daiquiri, or if you're in
the French Carribe, a "Ti ponche menthe." Though whilst in Cuba I was shown
other, better rums to make it with, Havana is definately a good choice.
(sorry Bacardi)
Paolo's spec (not the 1st, the last nor the definate)
