The authentic Cuban mint - the crucial ingredient necessary for the famed mojito cocktail!
 
While recipes call for any available variety of spearmint, the real mojito can only be made with the true mojito mint. Clearly different from most other mints -- its scent and flavour are agreeably mild and warm, not pungent nor overly sweet like other mints.
 
Like all mints it is easy to grow and will happily provide more than enough fresh sprigs for your mojitos.
