El Mojito Cubano

El mojito no suele considerarse un cóctel clásico, pero desde luego es una de las bebidas más populares y rivaliza directamente con la piña colada, la sangría, el daiquiri y el pisco sour. A parte tenemos otras recetas de cócteles famosos como el Bloody Mari, el cóctel italiano Bellini, el Dry Martini o martini seco y el rebujito de la feria de abril.

Cuba es sin duda alguna la cuna del mojito, a pesar de que el origen exacto de este cóctel clásico es siempre objeto de debate. Una de las historias apuntan a que el mojito se remonta al siglo XVI, concretamente al año 1586, cuando un grupo de piratas ya lo bebían bajo el nombre de “El Draque“, en honor al pirata inglés y comerciante de esclavos Francis Drake.

El mojito, en sus orígenes, se hacía con tafia, un predecesor primitivo del ron blanco, un aguardiente de caña, y se usaban los otros ingredientes para disimular su gusto áspero.

La bebida mejoró mucho durante el siglo XIX, con la introducción de alambiques de cobre y el proceso de añejamiento que desembocó en la forma moderna del ron.

Hay una receta oficial, la de la IBA (International Bartender’s Association), aunque me fío más del buen criterio del barman Johan Mahol.

There’s one thing I haven’t told you and that’s that my “half a lemon”, some time ago, took a cocktail course. When he was younger, he worked in a bar as DJ bar (this sounds very’90s). The place where he worked, made great cocktails. I remember the first time he made me a mojito and I thought, “Oh my God, marry me!” – hahaha.

From that moment on, he set the bar very high because every time we go out and order a Mojito, I always expect something similar to how he prepares it and most of the time this is not so. Today’s recipe is thanks to him.

It is curious how many elaborations that were carried out to camouflage an error or a taste not very appropriate, with the passage of time, can become a very popular element.

One of the pirates was Francis Drake, whose purpose was to plunder Cuba, the place where the Spanish crown kept Aztec gold from Mexico. This news reached the ears of King Philip II and warned the governor of Cuba, so they had time to prepare.

Fourteen pirate sailboats appeared off the coast of Cuba and remained there for days. Drake didn’t set foot on Cuban soil, he surrendered.
