Celebrate National Mojito Day with Starr Rum

Celebrate National Mojito Day with Starr Rum

With all the stress of work the week, many of us could use a drink. Let the go of annoying sounds of co-workers and the horrible bosses nagging in your ear, and celebrate with a cocktail on us. Friday is here.


July 11, marks National Mojito Day so we team up with Starr Rum to give you a quick history lesson on the highly popular cocktail. While many people credit the original Mojito recipe to Sir Francis Drake in Cuba, there is overwhelming evidence that the cocktail was actually invented by Africans working in the sugar cane fields in the region. The cocktail name actually comes from the African word “mojo”, which means “little spell.”

Whether toasting at home, on a rooftop or with friends, Starr Rum and Gents Among Men invite you to create your own cocktail and raise a glass to Mojito’s muddled history.
