Mojito – a classic from Cuba, with a twist from Roots Bar

When summer arrives in Zagreb, the city seeks refreshment – something that cools, awakens, and smells like a good time. The Mojito has been synonymous with summer cocktails for years, but at Roots Bar, we decided to take it a step further. Here, you’ll find not only the perfectly balanced classic Mojito but also its witty cousin: the “Not a Mojito” – a cocktail that questions the rules but keeps the most important thing: the refreshing taste.

 

Mojito – Why does everyone love it?

Originally from Cuba, the Mojito is a mix of white rum, lime, mint, sugar, and soda water. Simple yet sophisticated, this cocktail has been conquering the world for decades. At Roots Bar, we believe that classics deserve respect – that’s why we prepare each Mojito with attention to detail: fresh mint from Dolac, hand-squeezed lime, and high-quality rum create the foundation of a drink that cools both the soul and the body.

 

“Not a Mojito” – everything you love, but completely different

And then – for those who like to try something new – there’s our signature creation: “Not a Mojito.”
This cocktail plays with expectations. At first glance – lime, mint, freshness – but instead of rum, we use Monachus dry gin, and instead of soda water, we use Three Cents Lemon Tonic. The result? A cocktail that resembles a Mojito but with the refined herbal note of gin and gentle bubbles from the tonic.

Perfect for those who love the classic but want a new experience in a glass.

 

Roots Bar – Where tradition and creativity go hand in hand

In the heart of Zagreb, Roots Bar is a place where tradition and innovation meet. Our terrace offers the perfect setting for a relaxed summer gathering, and our menu is a true revolution in the world of cocktails.
