Holy Cow that looks amazing!
I have never heard of using ginger ale.
I always use club soda, so I will be interested to try this, because I do not like my mojitos too sweet.
What a cute bartender too! Is it just me, or does he look like the happiest lil fellow in the whole world?

emily, the ginger ale might make it too sweet for you. all the recipes i've seen call for club soda, but my mallorcan bartender used ginger ale ♥

...and, yes, he's one happy fella.
he's got the best bartending gig on the planet.

and although the beach was very remote {with a substantial drive, then hike}, anastasia knew him. it's a small world, after all ♥
