El mejor mojito, directo a tu barco
Al preguntarle al creador de esta iniciativa cual fue su inspiración para dar vida a mojitoman, nos contó que la idea surgió un verano cuando estaba sentado en Cafe de Mar, en San Antonio, tomando un aperitivo mientras contemplaba la puesta de sol. Se percato que había varias embarcaciones fondeadas a pocos metros de la costa, contemplando también la puesta de sol. Y le llamo mucho la atención ver como uno de los tripulantes de un velero se echo al agua y nado hacia la playa para dirigirse a un bar en busca de cocteles y cervezas para el y sus amigos ya que se habían bebido todo
lo que llevaban a bordo y querían seguir de fiesta.
Y dada la agudeza comercial de Ariel, fue en ese preciso momento donde se percato que seria una gran idea poder vender cocteles y bebidas a los barcos que estaban fondeados en la bahía. Asi fue como al día siguiente, provisto de una bolsa estanca, hielo, ron y hierba buena, se lanzo a la aventura con la actitud positiva que siempre lo caracterizó! Y fue un triunfo!!
La aceptación de sus cocteles fue inmediata. Y la leyenda comenzaba. Su nombre se lo debe a un grupo de amigos ingleses que aceptaron su propuesta de venta y tras comprobar que sus mojitos eran exquisitos, no solo le pidieron otra ronda, sino también que lo bautizaron como Mojito Man!!Ariel termino ese verano trabajando en la bahía de San Antonio con los barcos que fondeaban para contemplar la puesta del sol al ritmo de la música de Cafe del Mar combinado con los fuegos y acrobacias que hacían un grupo de chicos y chicas en la playa.
Y al año siguiente, decidió llevar su negocio a aguas mas cristalinas, con un publico mas exigente y elitista. Formentera!
Y para ello, tuvo que cambiar el modus operandi. Ya no bastaba con nadar de un barco a otro arrastrando su bolsa bajo el radiante sol de verano. Asi que decidió comprar una neumática para poder llegar con mayor rapidez a la isla vecina y poder también desplazarse mas rápidamente de barco en barco.
Y así es como hoy en día, vemos cada verano a Mojito man junto a su inseparable Mojito woman surcar las aguas de Formentera ofreciendo sus inigualables mojitos, enfundados en sus neoprenos negros con diseños verde fluo como si de un personaje de la ficción se tratase. Esta dupla, de origen argentino-ruso, nos cuenta que el éxito de su coctel se debe simplemente al uso de los mejores productos para elaborarlo. No se escatima en nada.
The best mojito, straight to your boat
When we asked the creator of this initiative what was his inspiration to bring mojitoman to life, he told us that the idea came to him one summer when he was sitting in Cafe de Mar, in San Antonio, having an aperitif while watching the sunset. He noticed that there were several boats anchored a few metres from the coast, also watching the sunset. And he was struck by how one of the crew members of a sailboat jumped into the water and swam towards the beach to go to a bar in search of cocktails and beers for him and his friends, as they had drunk everything they had on board and wanted to have a drink.
on board and wanted to keep on partying.
And given Ariel's business acumen, it was at that very moment that he realised it would be a great idea to sell cocktails and drinks to the boats anchored in the bay. So it was that the next day, armed with a watertight bag, ice, rum and good weed, he set off on the adventure with the positive attitude that always characterised him! And it was a triumph!
The acceptance of his cocktails was immediate. And the legend began. He owes his name to a group of English friends who accepted his sales proposal and after finding that his mojitos were exquisite, they not only asked him for another round, but also christened him Mojito Man! Ariel ended that summer working in the bay of San Antonio with the boats that anchored to watch the sunset to the rhythm of the music of Cafe del Mar combined with the fireworks and acrobatics that a group of boys and girls did on the beach.
And the following year, he decided to take his business to more crystalline waters, with a more demanding and elitist public. Formentera!
And to do so, he had to change the modus operandi. It was no longer enough to swim from one boat to another dragging his bag under the radiant summer sun. So he decided to buy a dinghy to be able to reach the neighbouring island more quickly and to be able to move more quickly from boat to boat.
And that's how every summer we see Mojito man and his inseparable Mojito woman sailing the waters of Formentera offering their unique mojitos, clad in their black neoprene suits with fluo green designs as if they were a fictional character. This duo, of Argentinian-Russian origin, tell us that the success of their cocktail is simply due to the use of the best products to make it. Nothing is spared.
Smile in Ibiza!
