Mojito Cocktail Tools

To make sure you can mix the perfect blueberry mojito you need some important tools. You need at least the following tools:

  • A solid long drink glass. To make sure you can swirl the ingredients and the ice cubes and get a cold drink you need a large long drink glass. Further, it is solid which is what you need when you crunch the mint leaves
  • Further, you need a wooden cruncher to crunch the mint leaves and Bacardi rum
  • To measure the Bacardi you need a jigger. If you do not have one take an eggshell and fill it up with Bacardi

Mojito Legends

There are several 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.
  • Some people 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 it was used as a medicine to reduce fever. It was made with aguardiente. However, as the taste of aguardiente was not so nice 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 knows if it is authentic.

Well, if Ernest Hemingway loved the mojito cocktail then I can’t blame him because this is a great drink.
