1. The Classic Lemon Mojito is the perfect drink for any occasion. A formal dinner, a casual lunch with friends or even a late night party. The classic lemon mojito can also be drunk with any food, I do suggest fish though as the tastes compliment eachother outstandingly.

The Classic Lemon Mojito is also very good for you as it contains lemon and mint which are proven to be very good for you. The lemon has antiseptic properties, preventing sepsis and contains a great source of vitamin C which is an important ingredient, especially for healthy gums and absorptian of iron. The Lemon is also a brilliant antioxidant. Heartburn, Bloating and Belching are relieved due to its digestive properties. Mint stimulates brain activity and alertness, clears nasal passages and throats and freshens breath.
