Get ready for a refreshing adventure with Edmunds Mojito
The Mojito’s origins might lie with the Elizabethan mariner, Sir Francis Drake. Legend has it that a drink comprising a rough spirit distilled from cane sugar – ‘aguardiente’ – with sugar, lime and mint was created in his name and used as a way of relieving colds and fever. Fast forward to the 1900s and the Mojito – so similar in composition to the Drake – was heavily promoted by the Bacardi Company, alongside cocktails such as the Daiquiri and Cuba Libre. In fairness, though, we probably have Prohibition to thank for the wider awareness of the Mojito – and its likely progenitor, the Mint Julep – as affluent Americans flocked to Cuba to sample cocktails that were strictly forbidden in the US.
