A mojito (pronounced mo-HEE-toe), one of Cuba’s oldest cocktails, comes from the African word mojo, which means to place a little spell. Bacardi traces the drink’s roots to 1586, when Francis Drake and his pirates tried to sack Havana for its gold. While the invasion was unsuccessful, Drake’s associate, Richard Drake, was said to have invented a mojito like cocktail known as El Draque made with aguardiente (a crude forerunner of rum), sugar, lime and mint. Early on, it was consumed for medicinal purposes. Around the mid-1800s, the recipe was altered and gained in popularity as the original Bacardi Company was established. In 1940, Cuban playwright and poet Federico Villoch proclaimed: ``When aquardiente was replaced with rum, the Draque was to be called a Mojito.’’ Other accounts suggest that slaves working in Cuban sugar cane fields in the late 19th century invented the mojito.

Daiquiri Story
|
Version #1 At the beginning of the 20th century, the engineer Pagliuchi visited an iron mine called Daiquiri at the east of Cuba. He questioned the American engineer Jennings S. Cox about the work of the mine because he wanted to exploit deserted mines in the area of Cobre (near Santiago de Cuba). At the end of the day of work ended Pagliuchi suggested | having a drink. The legend says that in Cox's storeroom there were only rum, lemons and sugar. They mixed these elements in a shaker with ice. "What is this cocktail called ?" asked Pagliuchi. "It has no name - so it must be a rum sour", answered Cox. Pagliuchi retorted that "this name isn't worthy of such a fine and delicious cocktail. We'll call it Daiquiri. This was the birth of a great classic... | Version #2 In 1898 the American troops, under the command of general Shafter, landed in the south-east region of the Daiquiri area (there still a beach which bears this name near Santiago de Cuba) to intervene in the war between Cuba, Spain and the United States. The general was fat. It was impossible for him to ride a horse and had to be | transported in a cart pulled by a team of horses. In addition he made a lot of mistakes during the Cuban campaigns. In spite of his faults, Shafter was an inveterate gourmet. He didn't take long time to discover the preferred drink of Cuban patriots, a mixture of rum, lemon juice and sugar. Tasting it he declared: "Only one ingredient is missing: ice". |
The real origin of Daiquiri can be attributed to one or the other of these legends. It's probable that each one contains an element of truth. Today this cocktail is known under the name of the Natural Daiquiri. **Keep in mind we are a full-service bar, so just ask and we will make anything you like!**
