Summertime cocktails are almost in season—this means mojito madness! Considering that drinks don’t require as many ingredients or as much prep time as food, you can see that the bar has the potential to be very profitable part of your restaurant, especially when it’s warm outside and customers are seeking refreshment.  Don’t risk disappointing your patrons because you weren’t fully stocked with the bar equipment to make this popular concoction.
