Description
Many believe that the Mojito is an evolution of a drink created by Sir Francis Drake. The word comes from the African 'Mojo' meaning little spell. Made famous by Havana's La Bodeguita del Medio bar of which Hemmingway was a patron.
“Drinking a Mojito was like wearing a badge of Cuban heritage, a display and emblem of national pride.”
Ernest Hemingway
