The Cojito is a sweet cocktail made with lime and mint, and typically rum and coconut. It is a variant of the mojito, but typically adds coconut flavor. This can be done by adding coconut milk or coconut-flavored liqueurs, or by using coconut-flavored rum such as Blue Chair Bay, Cruzan coconut, or Malibu. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Coconut on the rim of the cocktail glass may also be used. [6] The use of coconut rum gives the Cojito a more "tropical" taste than the mojito. [3] The strong minty taste may lead some to adjust downward the quantity of fresh mint leaves used. [5]
Several variants of the Cojito exist:
The Cojito is popular in Cuba, [3], and is thought of as a "Latin" drink, [4] but is also served in restaurants in the British Virgin Islands, [6] the United States, [5] and even Laos. [7]
