A Sip of History: The Cuban Connection

The mojito’s story begins in 16th-century Havana, where a similar concoction was used for medicinal purposes. Originally made with aguardiente (a primitive form of rum), lime, mint, and sugar, the drink was believed to treat ailments and fight scurvy. Over time, the spirit was refined into rum, and the drink evolved into the mojito we know today. Its crisp, clean flavor and thirst-quenching qualities made it a hit not only in Cuba but around the globe, especially in the sweltering summer months.

This connection to Cuba adds a cultural richness to National Mojito Day, making it more than just a celebration of a drink—it’s a nod to heritage and tradition.

The Art of the Mojito

The beauty of a mojito lies in its simplicity and balance. A classic mojito combines:

• Fresh mint leaves

• Lime juice

• White sugar

• White rum

• Soda water

• Ice

These ingredients are muddled and stirred to release the essential oils from the mint and zest from the lime, creating a fusion of freshness in every sip. For those celebrating National Mojito Day at home, mastering this cocktail is easier than it looks. It doesn’t require any fancy tools—just good ingredients and a love for zesty refreshment.
