A pirate, magic spells and a Cuban bar. Nobody knows exactly who invented the Mojito but there are three main theories. The first is that the English pirate Sir Francis Drake’s crew was suffering from scurvy and dysentery and a crewmember adapted the medicinal drink from Cuban locals. But it could have come from African slaves working in the fields of Cuba who named it “mojito” after the word “mojo,” which means, “to cast a spell.” Not to miss out on a good marketing opportunity, the famous Havana watering hole, La Bodeguita del Medio, claims they invented it.

One of the earliest origin stories of the Margarita hails from 1938. Marjorie King was 27 when she stopped in the Rancho La Gloria, a little restaurant halfway between Tijuana and Rosarito in Baja California. The beautiful Ziegfield dancer and actress saddled up to the bar and asked Carlos "Danny" Herrera for a drink. Miss King said she was allergic to many spirits — but not tequila. Of course, Danny was more than happy to oblige and made her a modified Daisy, (a classic Mexican cocktail) substituting tequila for gin and calling it a Margarita, which is Spanish for daisy.

Made simply from lime, simple syrup and rum, the traditional Cuban Daiquiri bears little resemblance to its modern slushy cousin. In true cocktail style, the Daiquiri is vigorously shaken and served strained. It’s deconstructed Caribbean cousin, the Sugar Dog, is made by muddling limes, raw sugar and rum.
