Description

The Chocolate Mojito is a modern riff on the classic Cuban Mojito, adding white crème de cacao to introduce a smooth chocolate dimension to the beloved rum-mint-lime formula. Rooted in the same Havana cocktail tradition that gave the world the original Mojito — famously associated with La Bodeguita del Medio and first documented in the 1930s — this variation emerged in the craft cocktail revival of the 2000s and 2010s as bartenders explored dessert-forward twists on tropical staples. The use of clear (white) crème de cacao keeps the drink visually clean while delivering a subtle chocolate sweetness that pairs beautifully with the bright lime and fresh mint. The result is refreshing and unexpectedly balanced — like a Thin Mint cookie reimagined as a tall, fizzy summer cocktail.
