The classic mojito is a drink so old, its history is a blur. It can be traced back to a 16th-century Cuban recipe for an “El Draque” named after the famous sea captain, Sir Francis Drake. This version with Prosecco appeals to lovers of a fresh, long fizz drink. The cool mint makes for easy summer sipping.
