Variations of Mojito
You’ve probably already noticed that. For example, there is typically more than one Mojito to choose from when sitting at a cocktail bar. There are many Mojito variations, where the taste changes depending on the use of syrup, rum, or fruits.
Some of the editions that have won out to that extent are Red Mojito, Strawberry Mojito, and Virgin Mojito. They all give a good twist to the original recipe, where the sweetness, acidity, and alcohol are turned up and down.
Mojito origin
The origins of the Mojito are not completely established, but two stories abound. For example, you can entertain your guests with them the next time you mix Mojitos in the home bar.
Some believe that the Mojito was first mixed in the 16th century by the slaves in Cuba’s capital, Havana. On the other hand, others think that explorers in Europe got a good idea with their few ingredients out on the water.
Non-alcoholic Mojito
An alcohol-free Mojito leans heavily on the classic version. It is both sweet and sour, and the mint gives it a refreshing taste. As you know from the classic cocktail, a non-alcoholic Mojito is perfect for hot summer days.
