Cuban Concoction
As the oldest cocktail originating from Cuba, the Mojito (pronounced “mo-hee-toe”) was concocted as an elixir, with the present name used to describe the “little spell” it supposedly cast. With the passage of time, this legendary cocktail is now recognized more for its bold and refreshing mint flavor.
