If you have never tried drinking a mojito then this blue very cocktail is a very good version to start with. Originally this cocktail was made with a slice of lime but this blueberry is so worth a try.
There are a number of legends surrounding this cocktail:
- About the name of the cocktail e.g. where some are saying it originates from the Spanish word ‘mojado’, which means wet.
- There are also people who swear mojito is derived from the African word ‘mojo’, which means enchanting. I can imagine that when you drink this cocktail you will be enchanted.
- This cocktail originates from Cuba and the legend goes that is was used as a medicine to reduce fever. It was made with aguardiente. However as the taste of aguardiente was not so nice so mint, sugar and lime were added to cover the taste.
- The final legend goes that this cocktail was first made for Ernest Hemingway the writer in the Bodeguita del Medio bar in Havana. There is even a note in the bar signed by Hemingway. It says: “My Mojito in La Bodeguita, My Daiquiri in El Floridita”. It could be real but nobody know if it is authentic.
Well if Ernest Hemingway loved the mojito cocktail than I can’t blame him because this is really a great drink.
