It is in 1910 when the recipe became rich with a more refined rum and of the lime to become famous Mojito. This name comes from "Mojo", a cool flavouring in the lemon intended to promote the taste of food. The success of this drink was such as Mojito became in 1920, the national cocktail of Cuba. C’est en 1910 que la recette s’est enrichie avec un rhum plus raffiné et du citron vert pour devenir le célèbre Mojito. Ce nom est issu du “Mojo”, un assaisonnement frais au citron destiné à valoriser le goût des aliments. Le succès de cette boisson fut tel que le Mojito devint en 1920, le cocktail national de Cuba.
