Cuba Libre in Washington, DC will celebrate its signature cocktail, the mojito, on National Mojito Day – Wednesday, July 11 – with $5 Classic Mojitos available all day at the bar beginning at 11:30 a.m.!

The cocktail, made famous by Ernest Hemingway and made best by Cuba Libre, is made with hand-pressed sugarcane (called guarapo), fresh lime juice, mint, Cuba Libre’s own white rum, and a splash of soda.

The $5 mojito special begins during lunch at 11:30 a.m. Mojitos can be paired with any of our lunch offerings, including our three-course “Rápido Lunch” and other lunch favorites! The full a la carte lunch menu is available all day at the bar.

The Mojito Day celebration will continue throughout the day at Happy Hour from 4-7 p.m., where the $5 mojitos can be paired with $5 tapas bites, and throughout dinner beginning at 4 p.m., featuring Cuba Libre’s traditional Cuban tapas, grilled meats and seafood, and many more exciting dishes by Chef-Partner Guillermo Pernot.
