Like most people, I appreciate a good mojito especially a flavored mojito. One of my favorite cocktails is a Cherry Mojito, but the other day I had a bunch of uneaten oranges sitting around and thought I would try something new!

A classic Cuban Mojito is sweet with a touch of lime made with fresh mint and white rum. I changed up the classic by adding orange juice and agave syrup to create this Cuban Orange Mojito.
