• And Our "Secret Ingredient"

Ahhh... This drink reminds me of my childhood watching my cuban parents gathering up the whole family on a Sunday and making Mojitos from scratch. Their was always something to be said around the kitchen table. My uncles were usually the loudest. Other family members playing Dominos in the back yard on a makeshift domino table. Some smoking cigars which I disliked the smell. But when I look back at those times, I smile and remember that on that day a Mojito was what brought our family together. Since then is when I learned to appreciate what good times a well prepared cocktail meant to anyone. Specially if you are drinking responsibly and surrounded by loved ones.
