Cheers to the Weekend: AG 1940 Sparkling Mojito

It's that time of the week when we say "Cheers to the weekend!" Every Friday night, a mixologist joins us to share his or her signature cocktail. Joining us this week is Alex Garcia, the chef of AG Kitchen and the host of Food Network's "Melting Pot."

July 11 is National Mojito Day, so in order to celebrate, Garcia will show us how to make an AG 1940 Sparkling Mojito.
