The Mojito is a traditional cocktail of Cuban origin known for its refreshing taste and unique recipe. It is made primarily from white rum (Rum), sugar (usually cane juice or syrup), lime juice, soda water, and mint leaves. Since its main alcoholic ingredient is rum, its alcohol content depends on the strength of the rum used. Typically, standard bottled rum has an alcohol content of around 40% (i.e., 40 degrees). When blended to make a mojito, a large number of non-alcoholic ingredients are added, and the overall alcohol concentration is diluted, making the mojito's actual strength lower than that of straight rum.

Mojitos are medium-alcohol cocktails, but there is no uniform standard for the exact number of alcohol content, which is determined by the ratio of each component in the mix.
