Mojito recipe! A taste from Cuba
When preparing a Mojito, lime juice is added to sugar can juice and mint leaves. The mixture is then gently mashed. The mint leaves should only be bruised to release the essential oils and should not be shredded.

The Latin American country of the Dominican Republic is located on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, the second largest island in the chain of islands called Great Antilles. The island is located to the west of Puerto Rico and east of Cuba and Jamaica.
Cuba has been under a communist regime since 1959 and this has resulted in a political isolation which has spared Cuba from the effects of commercial tourism. An ongoing trade embargo imposed on Cuba by the United States has caused shortages of food and essential commodities on the island.
