	+ 2005, for this wikiUser, is the year of the Mojito! With the assistance and advice of other valued wikiholics, this page seeks to perfect this wonderful Cuban beverage. Test out the recipe... too sweet? more rum? different kind of rum? different kind of mint? Don't forget to check our ["Alcohol"] page for more great ideas on how to rest your weary mind. + + == Single Serving Mojito == + [[Thumbnail(mojito.jpg, right, "["SummerSong"]'s beautiful Strawb Mojito!")]] + * 1 jigger light rum + * handful mint leaves + * 1/2 lime + * 2T simple syrup + * splash o club soda + Muddle mint, lime, & sugar in a highball and top with ice. Then, add rum & a splash of club soda. Voila! + + == Afternoon Mojito Pitcher == + For an afternoon of mojitos, or drinking with wonderful, but lazy friends, it's far more efficient to make mojitos by the pitcher. Make sure you pick up a bag of limes at ["Costco"] unless you want to go broke paying supermarket prices. Following is the same recipe, but with proportions adjusted for the pitcher. Watch out for guests who skip the club soda, because your pitcher will require far more frequent filling! + * 16 oz light rum + * 2-3 handfuls of mint leaves [we used spearmint from the yard with good results] + * juice of 8-10 limes + * 16 oz simple syrup + * club soda & ice + Muddle mint, lime, and sugar in the pitcher (a wood tamper or spoon work well). Add the rum and enough ice to pre-chill your drinks but not so much that it melts and waters down your drink. Serve in the yard with a bucket of ice and soda water handy. Remember... the idea is for the bartender to relax with the guests! BTW: The guests were very happy with this recipe! True drinkers, all. + + == Variations == + ["SummerSong"] suggested a great variation, with frozen strawberries in place of ice! This makes for a dramatic touch. + ["JaimeRaba"] suggests trying turbinado instead of simple syrup for a darker drink a lo Cubano. + + [[Comments(Suggestions)]] + + ------ + ''2005-05-26 21:00:38'' [[nbsp]] We tried out your recipe last night (perfect night for a mojito!!!) and oops, I drank too much. Very good. I used less syrup, though. --["SummerSong"] + ------ + ''2005-05-27 09:11:15'' [[nbsp]] You should try your mojito without the simple syrup, but instead with turbinado sugar. This gives it a slightly darker, but slightly more interesting flavor. This is the way they make it in cuba, where they (for reasons unknown me to) call it Morito. Ennest Hemingway loved em, but his favorite recipe didn't even use sugar. --["JaimeRaba"]
