I don't think the caiparinha is totally comparable, because cachaca is so much funkier than standard rum, imo. No fizz, either.― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, August 16, 2014 12:31 AM (1 minute ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

More exotic, for sure, since not everyone has cachaca.

i served said mashed potatoes with an ice cream scoop
bubble tape is not for me
i think mint is hardy; i'm sure it will resurface, harbl!
i have never made a sugarless mojito, but i vary the amount of sugar depending on my mood. i think one without sugar would be fine. rum and lime is delicious on its own.

Frozen Mudjito
― Neanderthal, Friday, 15 August 2014 23:54 (nine years ago) link
Love a good Pisco Sour. Pisco is like cachaca, a relatively exotic rum alternative with afaik one real drink use.
Usually lemon or lime juice means shake, but there's really no need to shake a mojito, since you pour over ice and top with fizzy water later anyway. Then you give it a nice stir to distribute the sweet. But then, I use simple syrup rather than sugar - as I might in a caiparinha - so it mixes pretty easily. Straight sugar might require a shake.

Mojitos: totally classic and fun to make. Does take some effort, but worth it. I only order them at bars that seem like they know what they're doing, because they're easy to screw up. (Also true not a good drink to order when the bar's slammed.)
Only downside is trying to make them last more than 5 minutes.

Mojitos are so good
Just made one with a little less sugar and I definitely prefer it that way
― marcos, Sunday, 19 July 2015 20:24 (eight years ago) link
I've been experimenting with making them with slightly darker rums, and it definitely changes the character. Like a lot of more tropical drinks, unfortunately, the sugar really adds up. Between the syrup and the alcohol, you may as well be drinking soda.
