There are many explanations for the origin of the name mojito, one of which is Mohou sauce from Cuba, a seasoning sauce made of lime. Another way of saying it is a derivative of mojadito or mojado from Spanish. Influenced by the Canary Islands immigrants on the island, the word may also come from a pickled dish made of Mohou sauce.
The word "mojo" means "magic" in Creole dialect in the southern United States. Another theory holds that Mojito was invented by slaves who worked in Cuban sugar cane plantations in the19th century. The reason is that the word Mojito comes from the African word "mojo"-meaning "read a curse".
Mojito cocktail is also Hemingway's favorite cocktail. He once wrote this sentence on the wall of the pub he often visited in Havana, which made Mojito famous. After drinking mojito cocktail, the face will glow slightly, and it will add some lemon and mint to make the wine taste fresher.
