The mojito is one of the most popular cocktails to come out of Cuba. It’s sweet, tangy, and refreshing. Pair it with South Florida’s tropical weather, and it’s a favorite drink in Miami all year long. This highball cocktail is typically made with white rum, sugar, lime, soda water, and mint — but many restaurants have created their own riffs of the sought-after beverage.

Here are 12 restaurants with must have mojitos in Miami.
