The Mojito Story
Its Humble Origins
Back in the 16th century, the Draque cocktail was created, combining aguardiente (a crude precursor to rum) with lime, sugar and mint. This concoction is said to be the earliest version of the Mojito.
The Mojito Story
The Birth of an Icon
In 1862, BACARDÍ founder Don Facundo Bacardi began producing rum. The Draque recipe was altered to replace aguardiente with something more palatable, and BACARDÍ rum was used. The Mojito, as we know it, was born.
