Easy to put together. Far too easy to drink. The first one I always down in no time at all. Then between every next Mojito I just top the glass up with soda water for a sweet minty sparkling water which I tend to sip and nurse for a bit until the next one.

莫吉托用金朗姆还是白朗姆更好呢

Simple and delicious fresh cockatil. I use lime jiuce instead and stirr it light with the mint leaves. Perfect!

So can we say that a Mojito is pretty much a mint Daiquiri? Or is there more to it than that?

A great, refreshing drink for a hot and humid Memorial Day. Perfect for sipping on while grilling hot dogs. I made mine with home grown mint and Probitas (aka Veritas) rum, which I felt was pushing the limits in terms of funkiest. Anything stronger would just be too much rum funk for this drink.

This recipe works, but I prefer more mint leafs (20-22) and 2:1:1 rum:lime juice:sugar syrup.

While this recipe can be good, I think the 'Slow Mojito' is probably the way to go. It takes about the same time as this version (more or less), but just is more complete. Everything comes through the way one would want it to. The brown sugar (ideally Demerara though) pairs well with the mint and the Havana Club, but there is a clear lime element as well. I always felt that the Mojito is NOT a rum forward drink, and this version is the one then.

BE BOLD:
20 MINT leafs
30 ML LIME
25 ml simple syrup

Seriously, 15 ml lime aint nothing :P .. added sugar makes up for added acidity, the reason they use less mint is because bars are saving on the bottom line ;)
