What Is A Mojito?

Blog Article

Not only is the Mojito one of the most popular cocktails in the world, but people love to talk about it too. Its mentioned on TV, its in books its doing the talk show rounds, its all over the place. So I looked it up a few recipes to see what all the fuss was about. Its a minty drink with rum. Sounds like something I would like, so I decided it was time to try the Mojito.

Before picking a recipe to try I decided to do a little research first. Lets see, its a Cuban cocktail that makes a great summer drink. Sounds good so far. It also says that it was Ernest Hemingways second favorite drink besides the Daiquiri. Wow, its got history too. And due to Barcardis recent advertising its enjoying a resurgence in popularity. Okay, Im sold, now how do you make this thing.

I chose the Barcardi Mojito web site to get a recipe and was treated to short video clip of how to make one. If you get a chance be sure to check it out. Im very impressed with these alcohol websites. They really go all out with videos, recipes and other fun things.

Hmmm, looking at the recipe its just rum and club soda and thats easy enough but the complicated part is the fresh ingredients. You need to add mint leaves, lime juice and sugar to the glass or pitcher and then muddle them. Muddling is sort of like using a mortar and pestle but you do it in the drink glass itself. This mojito seems like a drink that I need to know what it tastes first before trying it at home.

I could go to bar and try it but instead I decided to go the liquor store and 수원유흥 buy one of those Roses Cocktail Mixers that Im a big fan off. All you have to do is add one part rum and three parts Roses Mojito Mixer and youve got a Mojito. Im sure this will give me a good idea what a Mojito is supposed to taste like and then in the future I can fiddle around with the fresh ingredients and figure out the proper amounts to get the flavor Im looking for.

So in my opinion, the Mojito is definitely a summer drink, perfect for those warm days spent around the pool. The mint is refreshing, the lime flavor quenches and the rum does the job. Now its time for me to find my mortar and pestle.
