This little taste of Cuba, immortalized by Ernest Hemingway’s great love for this cocktail, sees its popularity increasing in leaps and bounds. It’s easy to make and even easier to drink, especially on a sunny South African summer day. The trick with this cocktail is to use ‘as fresh as possible’ mint. Don’t forget your really simple syrup. |
