Mojito = Cuban!

A mojito is a Cuban cocktail first enjoyed in the 1930s. It consists of white rum, sugar, lime juice, soda, and fresh mint. Since then, the mojito has become one of the most popular cocktails in the world. But with so many variations on the original recipe, finding the right combination can be a challenge. No worries, because we've compiled the basic recipe and three other recipes for you!

How much does a mojito cost?

The price of a mojito can vary depending on where you are and the quality of the ingredients. In a bar or restaurant, the price of a mojito can range from a few euros to over ten euros, depending on the location and the level of exclusivity of the establishment. Made at home, the price of a mojito can be much lower, depending on the price of the ingredients and whether you already have the necessary supplies. Generally, the price of a mojito varies, but it's a relatively affordable and popular cocktail.

How much alcohol is in a mojito?

The alcohol content of a mojito depends on the amount of rum used in the cocktail. Generally, about 50 ml of rum is used in a mojito, meaning the alcohol content is around 10-15%. However, this depends on the recipe and the person preparing the cocktail. It's important to be aware of the amount of alcohol consumed so you always drink responsibly.

Which rum is best for a mojito?

There are many different types of rum that can be used to make a mojito, but the best rum is usually white rum. This rum is light in color and has a subtle flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients in the cocktail. Some examples of good white rums include Bacardi Superior, Havana Club 3 Years, and Plantation 3 Stars. However, it's important to remember that the choice of rum is a personal one and can depend on the taste preferences of the person preparing the cocktail. It's advisable to try different rums and experiment with the recipe to create the perfect mojito.
