This utterly delicious and sophisticated mojito is topped with Champagne or sparkling wine instead of club soda. I serve it with no ice, so as not to dilute the delicious bubbles.
A mojito on stilettos!

Seasonal fruits are perfect for making cocktails. This week’s mojito is made with ripe, local peaches. It’s light, refreshing and… as you can imagine… incredibly delicious!

We all love eating seasonal fruits, especially when picked from a local farm or bought at the farmers’ market, but what about making cocktails with these succulent fruits?
Here, a classic mixer gets a make-over. Made with sweet, plump Bing cherries, this mojito is not only colorful, it’s thirst-quenching and positively luscious!

Sometimes the best things in life happen in the most unexpected ways. So it was for me last month when my dear friend Vincent called out of the blue, after a two-year hiatus, to invite me for dinner. “Let’s meet at Cuba!” he said. Cuba, a lively and fun restaurant in Greenwich Village, has its own in-house cigar roller and a fantastic live band. As I walked in, I saw Vincent waiting for me at the bar, sipping a mojito. “Give me one of those!” I asked the waiter. It was my first time ordering a mojito — never a fan of syrupy sweetness in drinks, I’d always shied away from the famous Cuban cocktail.
