Friday Night Thirst: The 10 Most Popular Cocktails in the World

6.   Mojito

An all-round favorite, the Mojito is a sweet and fresh combination of white rum, sugar, lime, soda, and mint. This cocktail dates back to the 16th century, but earned its current popular status when Havana’s Bodeguita del Medio focused on rum and Yierba Buena as ingredients. Earnest Hemingway’s preference for the Bodeguita’s Mojito is well known, as he set it in stone, and this drink is also Cuba’s national cocktail.
