Remarks:

Knowledge of the ingredients

for the mojito dates back to the

1586 and otherwise unsuccessful

attack on the island of Cuba by

Sir Francis Drake. They were

first used to treat scurvy and

evolved into a drink called the

Draque or Drake. As legend has

it, not until the mid 1800s with

the formation of the Bacardi

Company and their substitution

of rum into the Draque was the

cocktail we know as the Mojito

created.
