Mojitos - yay or nay

summer of 2007 I would make mojitos and drink them on my front porch and get kind of drunk and then go make noise music in my bedroom, I was 19 and it was my very first time living outside of my parents house or a dorm, god that was such a fucking great summer

mojitos rule and so does life.

when i was in france two years ago mojitos were all the rage. i went to a really scummy student bar in grenoble and ordered one for the hell of it, and it was actually made really well with havana club, fresh mint, nice and cold. that's a good memory.

I'll post recipe tomorrow (hint: no BBQ sauce)!

where you been Soto

if there's basil in this recipe

even a whisper of basil

best in Cuba

(have not had any there since '04)

i had some at that restaurant Wish in Miami

at my brother's (middle of summer hottest day of the year) wedding they had cocktail waiters hand out mojitos to everyone immediately after the ceremony - best mojito ever, not to sweet so your lips pucker a little from the lime

it is summer!!

Mojitos are so good

Just made one with a little less sugar and I definitely prefer it that way

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.
