Cuban cocktails throughout summer.
It's said to have been Ernest Hemingway's favourite drink, and if it was good enough for the Nobel Prize winning American writer, it's certainly good enough for us. You can now enjoy a refreshing Mojito, along with other cocktails, at the Fairmont Hotel's rooftop bar all throughout summer. It's the second year running for the Mojito Bar, which opens daily from 19:00 to 2:00. As well as the traditional cocktail (see below), you can ask the barman to make any number of variations, with or without alcohol. Follow up your aperitif with some Latin American food, and if you're a smoker, end the evening in the cigar lounge, with a selection of around 15 cigars.
Here are the traditional Mojito's 5 ingredients for a perfect summer cocktail:
- white rum
- sugar cane juice
- lime juice
- soda water
- spearmint, originally Cuban yerba buena
