The classic cocktail is perfect to enjoy on a hot summers day, or really any day for that matter. The drink got its start in the Caribbean, specifically in the region of Cuba and has infiltrated bar menus across the globe ever since. This thirst-quencher is just the right beverage to help combat the Vegas heat.

With only five simple ingredients (rum, sugar, lime juice, club soda and mint) our bartenders can muddle up one (or a whole pitcher) in no time. We’re able to provide our guests with the tastiest mojito possible with one simple secret, we never use a mix. Using fresh ingredients can make or break your mojitio (or any drink for that matter).

We’ve selected from our extensive drink collection a few summery mojitos we’re certain you’ll enjoy. Mix one up the next time you’re relaxing on the porch or by the pool or order one from us during your next visit to M!
