  • The True Story of the Mojito: A Tale of Mint, Lime, and Cuban Heritage Welcome to today’s episode of our cocktail-themed podcast. Today, we're unraveling the true story of one of the world's most beloved cocktails: the Mojito. This Cuban classic, with its refreshing combination of mint, lime, sugar, white rum, and soda water, has a rich history that mirrors the cultural and historical tapestry of Cuba itself. Origins of the Mojito The roots of the Mojito can be traced back to the 16th century when an early version of the drink, known as "El Draque," was concocted. Named after the English sea captain and pirate Sir Francis Drake, it was believed to be a medicinal mixture intended to treat scurvy and dysentery among his crew. The original recipe included aguardiente (a primitive form of rum), sugar, lime, and mint. Over the centuries, the drink evolved. Aguardiente was replaced by rum as distillation techniques improved, and the Mojito as we know it began to take shape in the 19th century. It became a popular drink among workers on Cuban sugar cane fields, where the ingredients were readily available and the drink's refreshing qualities were cherished in the Caribbean heat.
