The origins of the Mojito is from Cuba and is one of the oldest cocktails. The exact origin is uncertain, with slaves in Cuba during the 19th century being one idea where the Mojito came to be. Another story of its origins comes from Francis Drake, who tried to sack a place for gold and was unsuccessful.  After this unsuccessful sacking an associate made a Mojito like drink called El Draque.
