One part G&T, one part Mojito, the Tonic Cubano is the perfect companion on those hot summer days. Believe it or not, aged rum and tonic make a solid pairing. The smokiness of the rum contrasts the light sweetness of tonic in the best possible way. Add a tart lime and fragrant mint, and you're in business.
