Draque
From The Webtender Wiki
History
In the late 1500s English pirate Sir Richard Drake, subordinate to Captain Sir Francis Drake, prepared the first version of a drink combining aguardiente (the crude forerunner of rum) mixed with sugar, lime and mint known as the Draque, Drak or Droc. In the mid- to late-1860s, refined rum replaced the aguardiente, soda water was added, and it was rechristened the Mojito.
