Watch A Sable Bartender Turn His Aunt S Mojo Sauce Into A Puerto Rican Cocktail

While the sauce called mojo originated in the Canary Islands, varying forms of it are popular in Cuba, the Caribbean, and Puerto Rico. But for Sable Kitchen & Bar bartender Pito Rodriguez, the truest form is made in Puerto Rico by his aunt Titi. Rodriguez says that Matthew Jannotta, the Soho House Chicago bartender who challenged him to make a cocktail with mojo, visited Puerto Rico with him a couple years ago and got a chance to try his aunt’s mojo, which consists simply of cilantro, garlic, olive oil, and salt.
