The Bacardi brand was solidified in a bygone era of the 1930’s and 40’s where leisure and luxury were commonly connected with the most creative minds of the time. Earnest Hemingway was often seen perusing his manuscripts with a Mojito in hand as Cuba’s elite began to take notice. The Mojito began to gain recognition among America’s socialites after migrating from the beaches of Havana to the ports of Miami. During this time, many of America’s tycoons vacationed to Cuba and made the Mojito their signature drink.
Today, the Mojito has captured the same allure making it a symbol of style and luxury at summer-time gatherings with friends. Summer exudes vibrant colors, sexy fashion, and lavish parties. The mojito brings a chic sense of “newness” to any outdoor barbecue, festival, or cocktail hour. Kick your next social event up a few notches by serving up the iconic mojito. This unique signature drink suddenly becomes a conversation piece, something visible and appealing to the eye. The colorful ice-cold mojito takes the edge off from a hard day’s work, instantly taking you to another place, where you’ll feel like you are on your own little island in Cuba.
