I don't think Mexicans had much to do with the Mojito. But I'm too lazy to research it right now. I make a killin' Mojito. Hojito, if you will. A tasty accompaniment to the Hodgerita and also a good back to the Hodge Julep.

No need for research hodgy ;)

Mojitos are a delicious cuban beverage and I love them in the summer. :cheers:

Interesting:


Origin

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 16th century drink, the “El Draque,” in honor of Sir Francis Drake. It was made with tafia/aguardiente, a primitive predecessor of rum. Mint, lime and sugar were possibly used to hide the harsh taste.

Some historians contend that African slaves that worked in the Cuban sugar cane fields during the 19th century were instrumental in the cocktail's origin. Guarapo, the sugar cane juice often used in mojitos, was a popular drink amongst the slaves who helped coin the name of the sweet nectar.

There are several theories behind the origin of the name mojito, one such theory holds that name relates to mojo, a Cuban seasoning made from lime and used to flavour dishes. Another theory is that the name mojito is simply a derivative of mojadito, Spanish for "a little wet", or simply the dimunitive of "mojo" (wet).

No need for a set, just get a muddler and you're on your way.
