莫吉托的历史
关于莫吉托的历史由来也同样充满争议。
流传最广的一种说法,是著名的英国海盗弗朗西斯·德雷克爵士(Sir Francis Drake)在16世纪发明了莫吉托。
It is said that the original Mojito was a medicinal drink to curb disease on the island of Cuba. A moonshine rum-type alcohol was mixed with mint, lime, and sugar cane syrup to ward off illness.
相传最早的莫吉托是一种药酒,古巴岛上的人民用其驱疾祛病。这种酒用类似朗姆酒的私酿与薄荷、青柠、蔗糖混合,可以抵御疾病。
When pirates invaded Cuba the drink was introduced to Pirate Drake where he promptly used rum in place of the Cuban moonshine. The drink took on the name El Draque, until it became the Mojito.
海盗侵袭古巴时,有人向海盗德雷克推荐了这款酒,他立刻用朗姆代替了古巴人的私酿。这酒随后更名为El Draque,之后逐渐演变为Mojito。
moonshine ['muːn.ʃaɪn] n.非法酿制并销售的威士忌(或其他烈酒);私酿酒
另一种说法,则是古巴甘蔗园里的非洲奴隶发明了莫吉托。
It has been claimed that African slaves working in the Cuban sugar cane fields created the drink from “Aguardiente de cana” (literally “firewater of the sugar cane”) – a simple sugar cane alcohol.
