MOJITO

The Mojito may very well be Cuba’s greatest gift to the world of cocktails. This beloved drink dates back to the days when pirates roamed the Caribbean seas, originally concocted as a remedy to tropical diseases. With the combining of local ingredients like mint (known as “yerba buena”) and sugarcane juice, it became the precursor to the Mojito we know and love today. Over the centuries, white rum and carbonated water were added, turning the medicinal blend into a beverage celebrated globally for its refreshing taste.

A combination of zesty lime and brisk mint defines the Mojito’s signature flavour profile. This cocktail, built on a rich Cuban tradition, offers a taste that is both crisp and sweet, thanks to the careful balancing of sugar and the chilled clarity of ice cubes. Easy to prepare, the Mojito continues to be a popular choice for those seeking a refreshing escape.

Choosing the right white rum is crucial as it is the main ingredient for your Mojito. Havana Club 3 is made from local sugarcane molasses and aged in the Cuban warmth. This rum perfectly captures the fresh, green notes from the sugarcane and mixes them with a fruity taste that is all about Cuba. You’ll find a blend of beautiful aromas in the Havana Club 3 – from a hint of oak to the sweetness of molasses and sugarcane, all with a light, citrusy finish. It makes your Mojito not just good, but authentically Cuban
