The Draque, which was originally made by mixing aguardiente (the raw predecessor of rum), sugar, lime and mint, was served with a cockerel-tail-handled wooden spoon, and was consumed mainly for medicinal purposes. Ramón de Paula, the narrator, on one occasion wrote during the terrible cholera epidemic decimating the population of Havana: 'Every day at 11 o'clock I consume a little aguardiente-made Draque, and I feel rather well.' In the mid-1800s, roughly at the same time, it happened that Don Facundo Bacardi Massó founded the Bacardi company, as well as the original recipe of the Draque was modified. The aguardiente was replaced with rum, and the drink thus changed into the mojito. In 1940 Frederick Villoch declared: '... as soon as the aguardiente is replaced with rum, the Draque shall be named Mojito.'
