"Move over mojitos! There's a new drink in town, and it's taking the classic cocktail and giving it a tropical twist. The mojito, which is believed to have originated in Havana, Cuba, has been around since the 19th century. It combines rum with lime, mint, soda water, and sugar cane to create a light and refreshing summer drink that is now enjoyed worldwide."
"The 'c' in the cojito recipe stands for coconut rum; adding it to your mojito may change how you make them forever. To properly mix this fresh take on a classic mojito recipe, first muddle lime, mint, and sugar together in a highball glass before adding coconut rum and crushed ice. Then, top the drink with soda water, give it a little stir, and serve."
The mojito originated in Havana, Cuba, in the 19th century and combines rum with lime, mint, soda water, and sugar cane for a refreshing summer cocktail. A cojito substitutes or adds coconut rum to create a sweeter, more tropical variation. To make a cojito, muddle lime, mint, and sugar in a highball glass, add coconut rum and crushed ice, then top with soda water and stir gently. Avoid shaking to prevent bruising mint and froth. Coconut rum pairs well with lime, masks alcohol bite, and suits light, citrus-forward or spicy food pairings and beach settings.
