The Mojito always struck me as intentionally lazy. It's hot. You're tired. Do you REALLY want to be shaking, straining, cleaning up, trying to find the compost bin at the back of the kitchen? Am I working in a bar being paid for this while the AC keeps me chilled to room temp?

Hell no! It's 25C+ outside! I want to chuck stuff in a glass, stir, and probably reuse the mint for the next one. Just to avoid the 20 steps to the herb garden when I have two pots of prolific mint to snatch a few shoots from... I second another commenter on making a soda water cooler in between Mojitos. It's criminal to waste ice on days like today!

Patrick sir, you are a scholar and a mind reader. If I could give you 2 thumbs up I would.
