// History of the Mojito
The Mojito’s roots run deep in old Havana, where sailors, farmers, and bartenders all had a hand in shaping this mint-lime refresher into a Cuban icon. What started as a rough mix of rum, sugar, and lime slowly evolved into the bright, bubbly cocktail we know today. Simple ingredients, big flavor, and timeless appeal.

Over the past century, the Mojito has traveled the world, becoming a staple on bar menus from beach shacks to high-end lounges. It’s survived trends, fads, and endless riffs because it just works. Cool, crisp, and impossibly drinkable. The Mojito remains a classic for a reason.
