Mojito · Recipe & Method

Mojito

The Mojito originated in Havana, Cuba, and may be a descendant of the 16th-century Drake cocktail (a mixture of early rum, lime, and mint). It is made with Cuban white rum, fresh lime juice, mint leaves, white sugar, and soda water. The name may come from the African word 'Mojo' (meaning 'little magic'), and it is one of the most famous cocktails in Cuba.
