About

Judging by chichi bar menus, the Cuban mojito has come a long way from a sugarcane harvester’s drink made of cane water, unrefined rum, and a handful of mint. By proximity, Floridians have long played with the drink, adding this tropical fruit or that. Here, the sprightly sensation is Georgia’d up with peach nectar and schnapps.
