    What is a mojito?

    The Mojito cocktail is a classic drink that is said to have been created in Cuba during the 16th century. This is when the island was under Spanish colonial rule. The exact details of its origin are not entirely clear, but the Mojito is said to have evolved from a medicinal drink called "El Draque," named after Sir Francis Drake, the famous English explorer.

    The classic mojito became a favorite among sailors, as the combination of lime and mint helped to combat scurvy and other illnesses that plagued seafarers during long voyages. Its refreshing taste and rejuvenating qualities made it a popular choice among the locals as well.

    In the 20th century, the classic cocktail gained international recognition and became associated with Cuba's vibrant culture and nightlife. Today, it is enjoyed by people all around the world as a classic and refreshing drink, showcasing the tropical flavors of Cuba.

    Yes! If you can't find mango syrup, you can substitute frozen mango juice concentrate. Just measure out the amount you need and make sure it is thawed before using.

    Yes! If you want to make a classic mojito cocktail recipe, simply leave out the mango syrup.

    What are good garnishes for a mojito?

    Mint leaves, lime slices, lime wedges, are all great garnishes for any type of mojito you make. If you want a spicy cocktail, add a few slices of jalapeño pepper to the drinks and as a garnish.

    • 1 teaspoon sugar
    • 4-5 mint leaves
    • 4 ounces mango syrup
    • club soda

    • Fill the glass with ice then add the mango syrup. Top off with club soda, and stir.

    Notes

    Makes 1 mojito. Double the recipe to make two mojitos.
    Mango syrup: you can buy mango syrup or make your own. Note: my mango syrup was very light in color; depending on the mango syrup you use, yours may turn out more orange than the mojito pictured here. 
    To make mango syrup:
    • Add ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup water, and 1 chopped fresh ripe mango to a saucepan over medium heat. 
    • Once the water starts a low boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, until the mango is soft.
    • Using a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl, strain the mango mixture, pressing down to extract as much of the juice as possible into the bowl.
    • Allow the mixture to cool, then pour into a jar or bottle. Refrigerate any leftovers after making the mojito for up to 2 weeks.
