Question:

What does the spanish word mojito mean in english?


Answers:
Mojito - long drink with a base of rum

Mojito (pronounced IPA: [m??hi?.to?] (English) [mo'xi.to] (Spanish)) is a traditional Cuban cocktail which became popular in the United States during the late 1980s, and has recently seen a resurgence in popularity.

A mojito is traditionally made of five ingredients: spearmint, rum, sugar (traditionally sugar cane juice), lime, and carbonated water. Its combination of sweetness and refreshing citrus and spearmint flavors are intended to mask the potent kick of the rum, and have made this clear cocktail a popular summer drink.

Its popularity is evidenced by its prominent role in recent Bacardi advertisements. After the daiquiri (another rum-based cocktail), the mojito was the second favorite drink of the writer Ernest Hemingway. It is rumored that the origin of the word "mojito" is derived from the diminutive of the word mojo.

Hope this helps! =)

Although mojito has no true translation, supposedly it originates from the root mojo. The suffix -ito in the spanish language means "little". So possibly, the word means "little mojo" or something to that matter. Many summer cocktails contain sexual references.
