National Mojito Day

National Mojito Day on July 11 deserves a drink, so let’s toast. What more do you need on a hot summer’s day than to cool off with this classic minty cocktail? The mojito ranks among the nation’s favorite cocktails and is traditionally made with white rum, lime juice, sugar, mint, and sparkling water. It’s a cocktail that is enjoyed for its fresh and unique taste and although the recipe has been revamped many times over with herbs and fruits the classic is still the most adored. So, there’s only one thing left to do. Fill up your glass, put your feet up, and enjoy a mojito or two (we won’t judge) in the sun.

History of National Mojito Day

The mojito is a Cuban creation dating back to 1586. An old tale claims that Sir Francs Drake was seeking out a cure for scurvy and dysentery after his invasion of Cartagena de Indias on his way to Cuba. He returned with a solution – the mojito. It included aguardiente (a distilled South American liquor), mint, and sugarcane. The unusual concoction went down a treat with his crew and many reported reduced symptoms. That mojito was said to be created on La Bodeguita del Medio, an island in Cuba with a bar that the owners still to this day claim was the birthplace of the mojito.

In 1931, a ‘‘Sloppy Joes Havana Bar’’ gave away a cocktail menu and listed on it was a pair of mojito’s – one with gin, one with rum. The recipe was then published in the ‘‘El Floridita Cocktail Book’’ in 1939. Since then, the drink has grown in popularity.

The drink’s rise in popularity in the early 20th century is partly attributed to the author Ernest Hemmingway. It was rumored to be his favorite drink. The mojito is a drink that has become synonymous with summer. It’s fresh taste and cool temperature mixes perfectly with a hot summer’s day. A survey in 2016 found that the mojito was the most popular cocktail in both France and Britain.

It’s National Mojito Day

This drink is more than 500 years old. The #mojito is one of the oldest mixed drinks that is still consumed today. While the exact history of this cocktail is still a little murky, it is estimated that it first originated in the 1500s.

The mojito used to be used for medicinal purposes. Pirates used to actually create a drink with sugar lime, mint and aguardiente (early rum) for medicinal purposes to treat scurvy and dysentery. When aguardiente was switched out for real rum, the classic mojito officially made its debut!

It’s National Mojito Day! * The history of this aged drink is a mystery, but most are sure it was concocted in the 1500s. * Originally, the drink was used for medicinal purposes, to help treat scurvy and dysentery. When the aguadiente was replaced with rum, the mojito was born. * Mojito, the traditional Cuban highball, is one of the oldest mixed drinks still consumed today. #NationalMojitoDay #Mojito #FoodConsultant #FoodService #FoodServiceSolutions #FoodSales #NonFoodSolutions #Food #DisposableSolutions #FoodDude #WeKnowFood #FoodOfTheDay #DrinkOfTheDay #NobertSales @nobertsales (at Germantown, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRMhrh4FU-U/?utm_medium=tumblr
