History

People have been enjoying Bacardi mojitos for well over a hundred years. During the heyday of Havana, mojito recipes were tumbled and toasted in nightclub after nightclub. With the refreshing flavors of the Caribbean, mojito recipes with lime and mint suited the warm island nights.

The best mojito recipes, and indeed, all the best Puerto Rican drink recipes call for Bacardi rum. It's that distinctive, full-bodied flavor that brings every drink recipe to life.

Mixing mojitos and other refreshing Puerto Rican drinks starts long before you pull out the rum and glasses. Bacardi brewing recipes start with a careful selection of the finest ingredients. First we search the Latin tropics for the highest quality sugar cane molasses. The molasses is then mixed with our home recipe Bacardi yeast and fermented under carefully controlled conditions to bring you the distinctive flavor that sets Bacardi Puerto Rican Rum apart from the rest. Refining our brewing recipe for over 130 years has made our rum what it is. No wonder mojitos with Bacardi extra-tingle your tongue.
