Remarks:

Knowledge of the ingredients

for the mojito dates back to the

unsuccessful 1586 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 the substitution

of rum into the Draque was

the cocktail we know as the

Mojito created.
