When well made, this Cuban cousin of the Mint Julep is one of the world's greatest and most refreshing cocktails

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?

And a Daiquiri is a rum-based sour. However, both the Mojito and the Daiquiri have their own nuances and backstories. So yes, there’s 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 ;)

I use brown sugar instead of rich sugar syrup.

Oh no, this is really not the way do to, Mojito is much more delicate to do, take your time and first put mint leave in the glass and grind gently with the help of sugar powder and a pestle. Add a little of soda water to dissolve sugar. Pour rum and lime juice and stir.
Some ice cubes in 3/4, complete with soda water.
