So this is the Quito Mojito, inspired by mi mejor amiga Nora. Nora's from Ecuador and grew up with a mango tree in her back yard, one of her exes even nicknamed her "Mango". This drink incorporates the sweetness of mangoes and 10cane rum, with the spiciness of fresh jalapeno, and the cooling effect of cilantro. This drink is a little different from what we typically do at Watts Grocery, priding ourselves on being a seasonal, local Southern restaurant. But as Amy likes to say, quite correctly, that even after 2 years I still have "a unique lack of all things seasonal in my head". But looord, who knows when mangoes are in season?, and come on boss, they are technically from the South.
