About the Mojito cocktail
The Mojito is a classic Cuban highball made with white rum, lime juice, mint, sugar, and soda water. It is simple, refreshing, balanced, and intensely fresh, with bright citrus, cool mint, light sweetness, and a clean rum backbone.
The Mojito was born in Havana, Cuba, though its exact origin is debated. One early origin story connects the drink to aguardiente de caña, lime, sugarcane, and mint, ingredients that helped make rough early rum more drinkable while also tying the drink to old medicinal traditions. Whether or not every legend is true, the Mojito became one of the world’s most iconic Cuban cocktails and a go-to warm-weather classic.
