And, if I remember rightly, the mojito is usually served with a long, green
chile.
My only attempt to produce one of these things (out of a magazine recipe,
though I don't remember *which* magazine) was pretty abysmal. I got a sip, my
wife got a sip, and the sink got the rest.
Anyone have a reliable, tested formula? Summer is almost upon us....
