London's top bars reinvent the classic cocktail. Classy, cool or celeb - which mojito are you?
When it comes to cocktail trends, the mojito is fast becoming the most popular kid on the block.
According to drinks supremo, Luca, at Mahiki bar in London, the mojito may have been created by pirates, who turned to the simple ingredients of lime and mint when they ran out of spices and couldn't make rum punch.
Whether or not Bluebeard supped on a mojito, the combination of simple, refreshing ingredients and lashings of rum keeps the sexy summer drink flowing.
We asked three top London bars to give the classic mojito their own special touch.
Pop into Mahiki and you might catch Princes William and Harry knocking back this extra strong mojito, with added 'firewater'.
Celebrity mojito
East London is a hub for creative types. Fashionistas go crazy for Bistrotheque's summery mojito with added elderflower.
Jazzy mojito
When it comes to timeless elegance you can't beat The Ritz. Make like a millionaire and top up your drink with a better class of bubbles.
Champagne mojito
Food the way nature intended, straight from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall at River Cottage.
