Nadine, The Queen of The Mojito, holding up fresh mojito's
We shine the spotlight on Nadine "Queen of The Mojito". She made the best mojito in the Washington, DC area and this testimonial comes from many Cuban's who know what a mojito should taste like.. You can no longer experience Nadine's mojito since the Smithsonian Jazz Cafe is no longer around.
If you want a pretty good mojito you can go to Cuba Libre restaurant in DC but stay away from the food, it's nasty.
Do you like mojito. Do you know what a mojito is? It is a tradional Cuban Drink made from rum, special mint leaves, sugar and club soda. It has quickly become the most requested drink in restaurants and bars across the USA. see http://www.tasteofcuba.com/mojito.html for details.
Be careful, drinking a mojito while listening to Salsa may cause you to get up and dance.
