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.

A bit of a hassle to make. Not a fan of getting the Lewis bag and mallet out. Building it isn't fun and making it look nice I could do without. All said and done though... absolutely delicious. I mean, why wouldn't it be? Sweet, minty bourbon? If only someone could make them for me on a hot, hot day I would drink more of them. If I've got mint though, I'm more likely to make a Mojito. If I do make one though, it's 3oz of Bourbon, 1/2oz demerara 2:1, and about 18 mint leaves muddled and a bouquet of mint as a garnish. The bitters I can take or leave but if I have them at all, they're dashed on top of the ice, not swizzled in. I like smelling them with the mint.

I always used to use Buffalo Trace and monin cane sugar syrup. It was always nice until I ended up getting covid a dozen times and lost my sense of taste. When I got my taste buds back it just didn't really do anything for me. Woodford Reserve, Wild Turkey 101 and Four Roses single barrel are what I reach for these days. The quarter ounce of simple is about right but I tend to go heavy on the Angostura bitters. About 8 dashes.
