[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, sparkling water, and mint. The original Cuban recipe uses spearmint or yerba buena, a mint variety very popular on the island.
While the invasion was unsuccessful, an associate of Sir Francis Drake, named Richard Drake, created an early version of the mojito called &quot El Draque &quot out of aguardiente (a crude form of rum,) sugar, lime, and mint. Others say the drink was invented by African slaves working in the Cuban sugar cane fields. The name &quot mojito &quot stems from the African word of &quot mojo &quot which means to place a little spell. In the mid-1800's the creation of the Bacardi company bolstered the popularity of the mojito.
