I'm very curious what a mojito tastes like. I know it's minty and seems to be on the sweet side since it's made with sugar. Im a food network buff and saw Rachael Ray drink one on her travel show $40 a day. It really looked delish!

Taste like a piece of heaven.... but if it is make with real cuban rum (havana Club) however it is illegal in the US (because of the embargo). You need also to add some Lemon Juice.
1/2 Fresh Lime, cut into 3 wedges
4-6 large leaves of Fresh Mint
1/4 cup fresh squeezed sugar cane juice
1/4 cup Havana Club Cuban Rum, if not try a good Puertorrican Light Rum, like Don Q Cristal or Bacardi Blanco.
1 1/2 cups crushed ice
splash of soda water
How to do it...
Place the lime wedges and mint leaves in the bottom of a 14-16 oz glass and squish them together well with a muddler or wooden spoon. Add the rum and sugar cane juice and 1/2 cup of the ice. Cover with a shaker tin and shake well or mix well with a spoon. Add the remaining cup of ice and top with soda water. Serve with a thin straw.
SALUD!!! (Cheers)

I had one at the Miami airport. It is sweet with alot of mint leaves in it. I know it is made with rum. It is a refreshing summer drink. The sweetness disguises the rum.

aspects are: mild Rum Lime juice Sugar (Syrup) beaten Mint Leaves Soda Water in case you only like the style of rum, lime and mint, i'm particularly positive you'll like it. relies upon on what you get, now and again the mint is amazingly diffused, so lime is better significant style-wise. large clean drink in my view. Cuba Libre.
