Cuir Mojito Daniel Barros

One of the most famous stories about the controversial origins of the mojito rise on the pre- existence of a similar medicinal drink, possibly used to treat the dysentery and scurvy epidemic that forced Sir Francis Drake’s crew to dock in Havana in the late 16th century. The Cuban recipe consisting of lemon, mint, rum and sugar cane was further enriched by the British with rum. The name emerged only in the 19th century – some believe it to be derived from "mojo" (a lemon-based seasoning), others to be a diminutive of "mojado" (wet in Spanish). Cuir Mojito is inspired by the harmony between the drink’s hot and cold aspects, emphasizing its main ingredients with an elegant and comfortable base of leather along with floral and spicy accents. A versatile scent that is appropriate for any occasion.
