The history of the mojito at La Bodeguita del Medio
The history of the mojito at La Bodeguita del Medio begins in Havana, Cuba, in a small tavern frequented by intellectuals, travelers, musicians and writers. Founded in 1942, this emblematic cantina became the unofficial temple of the mojito, where even Ernest Hemingway left his mark with his famous phrase:
“My mojito at La Bodeguita, my daiquiri at El Floridita.”
What made this mojito unique was its simplicity: white Cuban rum, fresh mint, sugar, lime and sparkling water, served unpretentiously but with character. In that ritual of shaking with care and serving with elegance, one of the great stories of Cuban cocktails was written.
