The Story Behind The Recipe
Mojito is traditionally Cuban and best enjoyed as the sun sets over the vibrant city of Havana. It is made of five ingredients: rum, sugar (traditionally sugar cane juice), lime, carbonated water and mint.
The combination of sweetness and refreshing citrus and mint flavors are intended to mask the potent kick of the rum. Some people add Angostura bitters to reduce the sweetness of the drink.
The word mojito is derived from the word mojo.
