Mojito Mint Plants

Mentha × villosa

Bring fresh flavor to your kitchen and cocktail glass with Mojito Mint. Traditionally associated with Cuban mojitos, this mint offers a mild, refreshing flavor that complements lime without overpowering your drink.

Its fragrant green leaves are useful well beyond cocktails. Add freshly picked sprigs to iced tea, lemonade, fruit salads, sauces, and desserts, or use them to season savory dishes.

A Refreshing Mint for Drinks and Cooking

Gently muddle the leaves to release their aroma when making mojitos or alcohol-free lime spritzers. For cooking, start with a small amount and adjust to taste. Explore our mint plants to discover more flavors for your herb garden.

Growing Mojito Mint

  • Light: Grow in full sun to partial shade. Afternoon shade can help in hot climates.
  • Soil: Choose fertile, well-drained soil or a quality container potting mix.
  • Water: Keep the soil evenly moist without allowing the roots to sit in standing water.
  • Containers: Mint spreads vigorously. A separate pot with drainage holes helps keep its growth contained.
  • Harvest: Once established, snip stem tips regularly to encourage branching. Leave plenty of foliage for continued growth.
