Mojito

IBA

Rooted in Cuban drinking culture and closely associated with Havana's bar scene of the early 20th century, the Mojito built its international reputation long before becoming a global staple. White rum's clean, sugarcane sweetness is anchored by lime's sharp acidity and animated by fresh mint, producing a layered freshness that is more complex than its straightforward ingredient list suggests.
