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]
The Co Cojito, originated by the self-described "Restaurant & Chocolate Boutique" Co Co. Sala[8] in Washington, DC,[9]: 130 is based on chocolate-infused vodka and adds dark chocolate flakes as a flavoring agent, in addition to the usual lime and mint.[10][11]
Locales
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]
