In today's video, I'm going to show you two ways to make a mojito! The mojito has become an extremely popular drink, and countless variations of this drink exist. I'm keeping it to the classic ingredients of rum, sugar, mint, lime, and soda water but make it using two different techniques. The first is a quick way to get mojitos into people's hands (if one person wants one, everybody wants one), while the second is a bit more timeconsuming. This technique's wonderful if you have the time and plan on only making one or two. There's no wrong answer here, both drinks go down refreshingly easy cheers!
