Mojito History

Cuba is the birthplace of the Mojito, although the exact origin of this classic cocktail is the subject of debate. One story traces the Mojito to a similar 19th century drink known as "El Draque", after Francis Drake. It was made initially with tafia/aguardente, a primitive predecessor of rum, but rum was used as soon as it became widely available to the British (ca. 1650). Mint, lime and sugar were also helpful in hiding the harsh taste of this spirit. While this drink was not called a Mojito at this time, it was still the original combination of these ingredients.

The Mojito was a favorite drink of author Ernest Hermingway. Ernest Hemingway made the bar called La Bodeguita del Media famous as he became one of its regulars and he wrote "My mojito in La Bodeguita, My daiquiri in El Florida. " This expression in English can still be read on the wall of the bar today, in his handwriting.

No matter where came from, Mojito is one of the best cocktaisl ever in the World. If you've never try, go to one Cocktail bar and order one. Cheers

Capirinha History

The word caipirinha is the diminutive version of the word caipira, which refers to someone from the countryside, being an almost exact equivalent of the American English hillbilly or the Lowland Scots teucher. The word may be used as either a masculine or a feminine noun, but when referring to this drink it is only feminine (usage of diminutives is common in Brazil). In the Brazilian vocabulary, the word caipirinha is mostly associated with the drink itself rather than the class of person.
