El Draque Mojito Bar
Menu cover design, as part of a brand identity proposal for a lobby bar at an oceanfront resort in Medano Bay, Cabo San Lucas. The custom logo mark features a masculine pirate aesthetic. The pair of drakes or dragons debossed on the hunter green leather cover is a reference to the notorious reputation of Sir Francis Drake, the inspiration for the bar's backstory:
In the late 1500s in Havana waters, Sir Francis Drake, also referred to as “El Draque” or “the dragon,” sought a cure for his ailing crew and offered them a combination of rum, sugar cane, lime and mint leaves. The elixir saved his crew and became a cocktail known as “El Draque,” now the modern-day mojito. This space offers a menu highlighting signature craft mojitos and a full bar.
