1. Old Black Bear

Old Black Bear is one of my favorite spots to hang out in Madison. Delicious eats, craft beer and a great atmosphere make for the best place to spend a weekend night.

The drink: Peach Mojito

The deets: Dark rum, muddled mint and lime, peach puree, simple syrup, soda

2. Phat Sammy’s

The Hokkaido Beach highball from Phat Sammy’s isn’t technically a mojito, but with white rum, lime, mint and soda water, we think it fits the bill. Head to the tiki-themed restaurant and bar for a tropical getaway right in downtown Huntsville.

The drink: Hokkaido Beach

The deets: Cruzan white rum, mint lime peel syrup, highball soda

3. Rhythm on Monroe
