Mojito Extra is a bolder variation on the classic Mojito, using Jamaican dark rum in place of light rum and adding Angostura Bitters for an extra layer of complexity. Lemon juice replaces the traditional lime, lending a slightly different citrus profile, while the bitters contribute spice and depth. The result is a richer, more complex version of the refreshing original.
History & Origins
Mojito Extra is a modern bartender's riff on the classic Cuban Mojito, adapting the recipe to incorporate Jamaican dark rum, which carries a more pronounced molasses and fruit character than traditional Cuban light rum. The addition of Angostura Bitters reflects the contemporary craft cocktail movement's interest in layering aromatic complexity into classic templates. Its specific origin is disputed and no single creator is credited.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Deep molasses and tropical fruit from the Jamaican dark rum, with fresh mint and citrus. Palate: Richer and more complex than a standard Mojito, with earthy rum depth, bright lemon acidity, cool mint, and spiced bitterness from the Angostura. Finish: Warm and herbaceous with a spice-forward bitters note lingering.
Pro Tip
Add the Angostura Bitters as a float on top of the finished drink rather than mixing them in, to create a visually striking layer and a more concentrated aromatic nose.
