The Mojito
The Mojito is a refreshing cocktail that originated in Cuba and is popular worldwide. It consists of white rum, lime juice, mint, sugar, and soda and is often seen as a symbol of Caribbean lifestyle. The history of the Mojito dates back to the 16th century when the first rum distilleries were established in Cuba. The exact origin of the cocktail is unclear, though. Some sources claim that the Mojito was invented by Cuban pirates as a remedy for scurvy, while others say the drink became popular during the American Prohibition in the 1920s. The Mojito is a refreshing and light cocktail with a sweet and invigorating taste of lime and mint. It's perfect as a summer drink and is also very popular in the bar scene around the world. You can also try variations of the Mojito by adding fresh fruits or other herbs.
