Mojito – The Final Word
Oct, 3, 2007
I like Mojitos , no, I love Mojitos. However, 1 in 2 times I order a Mojito when I get it it has been messed with somewhat. Some bars like to use Bacardi Limon, they think they are being creative and that it is better, this is a very bad idea. Some bars like to use 7up or Sierra Mist, thinking that sweater is better. Vetoed.
So I looked it up, a Mojito is a Cuban drink. Here is the recipe. Quantities vary, however the ingredients are non-negotiable.
-
2 oz. (60 mL) Cuban white rum
-
1 lime (or 2 ounces (60 mL) lime juice)
-
1 tsp powdered sugar
-
4 Mint leaves
-
Club soda
Ok, good luck getting Cuban rum. If you have some, use it.
There are a few variations to the recipe.
- Use Cachaςa, (Brazilian rum), instead of white rum
- Add mango juice, yummy, but looks not so
- Add aςai juice, healthy
- Use Apple Bacardi
- There are alot more, experiment!
Also, if you can get some split sugar cane, it makes a great garnish that allows you to stir while drinking and even something sweet to chew on.
