What is Mojito?
Mojito is a refreshing Cuban cocktail made with white rum, featuring an ABV of around 12%. The perfect balance of lime's tartness, mint's freshness, and sugar's sweetness makes it one of the most popular summer cocktails worldwide. Its relatively low alcohol content makes it ideal for cocktail beginners or those seeking a light, refreshing drink.
Mojito ABV
Mojito has an ABV of approximately 10-15%, which is relatively low among cocktails. Although it uses white rum (40% ABV), the addition of soda water and ice dilutes the alcohol, making it only slightly stronger than beer.
Mojito Ingredients
- 45ml - White rum
- 20ml - Lime juice
- 2tsp - Sugar
- 6ea - Fresh mint leaves
- 90ml - Soda water
Mojito Recipe
- Lightly muddle 6 apple mint leaves, 2 tsp sugar, and 20ml lime juice in a glass.
- Pour in 45ml white rum and fill the glass with ice, stirring gently.

Mojito Taste
The first sip of Mojito greets you with cool mint aroma, followed by the bright acidity of fresh lime. The subtle sweetness of white rum and sugar creates a perfect balance, while the effervescence of soda water provides a crisp, clean finish.
Recommended for those who enjoy sweet cocktails but prefer something lighter, or anyone looking for a refreshing summer drink. If you find Piña Colada too sweet, Mojito is an excellent alternative.
Mojito History
Mojito is believed to have originated in 16th-century Cuba. Originally called "El Draque," pirates reportedly mixed rum with lime and mint to prevent scurvy during long voyages.
The modern Mojito recipe was perfected in the 1930s at La Bodeguita del Medio bar in Havana, Cuba. The bar became famous partly due to Ernest Hemingway, who was known to frequent the establishment and enjoy their Mojitos.
