The South Beach Mojito
White rum, fresh lime, mint, cane sugar & coconut water splash
Ocean-fresh flavors kissed by tropical sun
The Story
Miami and mojitos are inseparable — the drink arrived with the Cuban diaspora and became the soundtrack to South Beach's pastel-hued nightlife. Fresh mint, sharp lime, and white rum over crushed ice: it's the taste of warm sand, turquoise water, and an evening that starts at sunset and ends at sunrise. This version adds a splash of coconut water for that distinctly Miami twist.
