The origin of the mojito is not totally clear, but it is said to have its roots from Cuba early this century. Even Ernest Hemingway sipped a few in his time. There are hundreds of recipes, and tips, but one of the keys to a successful mojito seems to be fresh lime and mint. If you are in the mood to just sit back and sip, Miamist recommends the Royale Mojito at Tapas & Tintos located on Espanola Way in Miami Beach. This $12 cocktail is made by an experienced bartender fresh in front of your eyes. Plan to stay for some tapas though; this mojito doesn’t mess around and is seriously strong.
