Mojito
The Mojito is a very well-known cocktail that originated in Cuba. It probably originated there on the sugar plantations. And did you know that it was originally intended as medicine? Now we know it as the beautiful and fresh cocktail that drinks away so nicely! You make it with rum, sparkling water, lime juice, sugar (or sugar syrup) and of course mint.
