The mojito is an old classic, whose creator is not certain. In short there are two theories where one tells the tale that the mojito was created among the black slaves in early America, where an ancestor to todays rum types was used. Another theory is that it was a traveller/explorer who invented a recipe containing mint, lime, cane sugar and the rum of the time. No matter who invented it we are certainly very happy about it.

(sk) It has to be in Dumbo, Brooklyn … and it has to be made by … and it cannot be Daiquirí … it has to be Mojito. (Then in winter time, a cup of hot apple cider …)
爽やかで美味しそう！日本のバーでは飲めないのでしょうね。
それにしてもミントに４０種類以上もあるとは！我家にもあるけど、モロッコやスイスのとは、全然味が違いそう。巨大な容器に入ったapple cider, 懐かしいです。
