Origins of the Mojito
The mojito has its origins in Cuba, where it was first created in the 16th century. The original version of the drink was made with aguardiente (a type of rum), sugar cane juice, lime juice, and mint. Over time, the recipe evolved to include white rum as we know it today.
Ingredients:
- 2 oz white rum
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 2 tsp sugar

Tips for Making the Perfect Mojito:
- Use fresh ingredients whenever possible for best results.
- Adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste preference – some people prefer their mojitos sweeter while others like them more tart.
- Don't over-muddle the mint leaves as this can release bitter flavors – just give them a gentle press to release their oils.
