There is a variety of mint that works particularly well in a Mojito – Mojito mint! The Mojito mint originated in Cuba (home of the Mojito). As such, it works particularly well when combined with the other ingredients, all of which are indigenous to Cuba. Mojito mint has a mild, peppermint flavor.  When bruised, Mojito mint releases menthol-like compounds that result in a Mojito which feels cool and refreshing to drink. If you haven’t got any Mojito mint to hand, Spearmint will work pretty well.
