Few cocktails capture the spirit of summer quite like the Mojito. Originating in Cuba, this refreshing mix of rum, lime, mint, sugar, and soda water has been cooling down drinkers for centuries. Its roots are thought to stretch back to the 16th century, when sailors combined lime, sugar, and local spirits as a remedy against scurvy. Over time, the drink evolved into the much-loved Mojito we know today — crisp, zesty, and endlessly refreshing.

At Devon Rum Co., we couldn’t resist putting our own spin on this iconic serve. Enter the Dirty Mojito — a bolder, richer take on the Cuban classic, made with our award-winning Premium Spiced Rum. The warmth of aromatic spices balances beautifully against the zing of lime and freshness of mint, giving you a cocktail that’s just as refreshing as the original, but with a deeper, more indulgent character.
