Mojito

With roots in 16th-century Cuba, the Mojito — white rum, fresh mint, lime juice, sugar, and soda — became globally iconic when Ernest Hemingway adopted it as his drink of choice at La Bodeguita del Medio in Havana. Its bright, herbaceous refreshment perfectly embodies Caribbean drinking culture and remains one of the most ordered cocktails worldwide. It is 20% cheaper than the typical rival when made at home, and its annual recipe searches on platforms like Pinterest are 15 million, exceeding those for the Old Fashioned.
