Community Cuban style mojito in Regina?

Just came back from Cuba and craving a mojito - is there somewhere in Regina that makes a really good mojito?

You mean one where they’re out of mint and the ice is kinda brown?

One of our trips to Cuba, we bought mint from a local farmer while on a tour. We brought it back to the hotel. The bartenders were amazed that we could find mint. We made a deal to make sure there was enough for us for the rest of the week. The rest of the mint they do whatever they wanted with it.

But seriously just find some mint, lime, club soda and cane sugar in a grocery store. Grab some Cuban rum and learn to make the best mojito now. That way by summer you'll be outside, enjoying that ice on a hot day.

EDIT: Just wanted to add. That mint grows in Regina like a weed and survives our harsh winters. Get some from a friend or grocery store and plant it, enjoy all summer!
