Mojito (/moÊËhiËtoÊ/; Spanish: [moËxito]) is a traditional Cuban highball. Traditionally, a mojito is a cocktail that consists of five ingredients: white rum, sugar (traditionally sugar cane juice), lime juice, soda water, and mint. The original Cuban recipe uses spearmint or yerba buena, a mint variety very popular on the island.
The mojito, which originated in Cuba, is a popular relative of the rickey, made with key lime juice, rum, simple syrup or muddled sugar, soda water, and muddled mint leaves.n 1883, Colonel Joe Rickey was purported to have invented the Joe Rickey, after a bartender at Shoomaker's in Washington, D.C. added a lime to his mornin's morning, a daily dose of Bourbon with lump ice and Apollinaris sparkling mineral water.
