It’s just like Ciudad to go throwing dining conventions to the wind. Instead of wines, Ciudad is offering a mojito pairing dinner tonight.
Made even better, each of the four dishes served will be accompanied by refreshing mojito recipes crafted with Zaya Grand Reserva 12-Year-Old Estate Rum, ending with a snifter of the stuff straight. Hopefully, car keys are being held overnight at the door.
