Cojito

Cojito is a popular cocktail that originates from Cuba. It is a variant of the classic Mojito, with the primary difference being the substitution of coconut flavor in place of the traditional mint. The Cojito is a refreshing, tropical cocktail that is often enjoyed in warm weather or at beachside locations.
