Summary
The Aztec Cacao Mint Mojito presents an innovative twist on the classic Cuban mojito by blending richly historic ingredients—unsweetened cacao nibs, prized in Aztec culture for centuries—with the vibrant, refreshing notes of fresh mint and lime. Combining Mexican heritage flavors and Caribbean cocktail tradition, this drink delivers both depth and rejuvenation in every sip.
Tips & Notes
- Gently grinding the cacao nibs before muddling helps release their bold, slightly bitter cocoa notes without overpowering the delicate mint.

- Serve this mojito immediately to enjoy the full fizziness and fresh mint aroma.
