About
This cocktail was created by Zack Gelnaw-Rubin (@zgrcocktails). It borrows the rum, lime, and orgeat combination of a Mai Tai and adds the mint and soda you would expect from a Mojito. The aged rum gives it plenty of depth, while orgeat replaces the usual sugar with a little more richness and nuttiness. Mint and soda keep the whole thing long and refreshing, making the name feel pretty appropriate.Cheers y’all!
