Non-alcoholic and alcoholic mojito cocktail
World famous Cuban long drink.
The origin of the mojito cocktail is legendary. The most romantic of them says that the drink has been known almost since the 17th century; then it was called El Draque - in honor of Sir Francis Drake. In those distant times, when modern ingredients simply did not exist, the drink was prepared from a mixture of “fire water” (aguardiente) and mint, lime and sugar. The latter were used, rather, to discourage the harsh taste of tafia, this “wild” ancestor of rum. As soon as rum became available to the British (around 1650), it was added to the mix.
There are also different opinions about the name of the cocktail. Some trace it to the Cuban lime seasoning mojo; others consider it to be derived from mojadito, which means "slightly moist" in Spanish, or from mojado ("raw").
The Mojito is one of Ernest Hemingway's favorite cocktails, who even glorified the bar where he usually enjoyed this drink: “My Mojito is at La Bodeguita, my Daiquiri is at El Floridita.” Today this line, personally written by the author of “The Snows of Kilimanjaro,” adorns the wall of that very bar.
