Mojito
Born in Havana, Cuba, the Mojito has refreshed drinkers since the 16th century, making it one of the oldest cocktails in existence. The combination of white rum, fresh mint, lime, sugar, and soda water creates a drink that is at once herbaceous, sweet, and sparkling. It is the quintessential summer cocktail.
