History
The Temperance Apple Mojito is a nonalcoholic riff on the Mojito, created in 2002 by Tony Conigliaro at Isola, a restaurant and bar in London. Its name plays on the temperance tradition of alcohol-free drinking: apple juice replaces the Mojito's rum, while the fresh mint, citrus, and soda of the original stay.
The Mojito itself is generally traced to Havana, Cuba, though its exact origin is disputed.
