    Just got back from Havana and had several of these at the Nacionál hotel. They were excellent. One thing I noticed is they don't muddle the mint. In the Cuban countryside we had one and they used honey as the simple syrup. It was really good.

      I make a lot of mojitos at my bar and I don't muddle the mint either. I just slap it to get the oils out. People tend to over-muddle the mint and it creates a bitter flavor.

    Never seen a shaken Mojito before, but I'll give it a try. I do prefer raw sugar over simple sirup in a Mojito though.

    • @viirusiiseli
      @viirusiiseli 3 роки тому

      Shaking is not required. All it does is shatter the mint leaves into tiny bits that then unpleasantly come up when you drink it. In my opinion, it's supposed to be a stirred drink. If there are leaves, be it basil or mint or else, a drink should not be shaken.

  • @DaveRavee
    @DaveRavee 7 років тому

    I add crushed ice over all ingredients and stir while lifting the mint through the drink, causing dilution. Finally adding more crushed ice. I don't add soda.

  • @mrnobody6354
    @mrnobody6354 11 років тому

    I agree not to shake a Mojito, I'd give it a quick stir with crushed ice and top off with more ice and soda. If do choose to shake it, shake it in a shaker and fine strain it to remove all shredded bits of mint, this gives a cleaner looking Mojito.

      He specifically stated in the beginning that he was going to make it the classic cuban way. Go to La bodeguita del medio in Havanna, Cuba were this drink was made, and see if they'll make it with crushed ice. You will be disappointed with them aswell I'm afraid... Original Mojito, cubed ice, period.

    • @jgrimm9178
      @jgrimm9178 7 років тому

      Crushed ice is used for drinks made with strong spirits such as a caipirinha. It's because it melts quicker and helps to make the taste of the drink more smooth.
      This ain't the case with the mojito. Here you need ice cubes to keep the drink cold without large amount of additional water.

    • @dannynannady
      @dannynannady 7 років тому +2

      A "classic" mojito didn't use crushed ice. It comes from Cuba which has a very hot climate.
      Crushed ice would melt in a matter of mere minutes.

    • @FallenLionInBlue
      @FallenLionInBlue 6 років тому +1

      First arive of ice at West India was at 1806. Mojito was born from ,,Stomach Julep" pirates used him. Dushan said CLASSIC so in that time They used lime, mint, sugar (not syrup), rum, and water (to disolve sugar). They used Ice cubes and not cracked ice (at West India they used it for tiki and another tropical drinks). So think outside of ,,modern mojito" box.

      +marcelo pin I could be mistaken, but I believe it's:
      10-12 mint leaves
      1 pt simple syrup
      1 pt lime juice
      2 pt white rum
      2 pt club soda
      ...and ice.

      Well it has lime juice, any cocktail with juice in it either freshly squeezed or processed it has to be shaken.

    • @22martinez1
      @22martinez1 6 років тому +3

      Oh and since it has mint it needs to be shaken to be well incorporated with the drink so you can have the taste and smell of the mint which is so refreshing for a drink like this.

    • @JoseAyerdis
      @JoseAyerdis 9 років тому

      Samuel Wiktorsson Is not sugar!! is water and sugar which dilutes both the flavor of the rum, mint and lemon, the classic recipe is whit brown sugar btw not syrup, and it should be Stir not shake

    • @thedetvetdu
      @thedetvetdu 9 років тому +8

      Jose Ayerdis Most bars that I know of, including mine, use simple syrup as the sweetener in their mojitos. Simple syrup indeed is sugar mixed with water. The problem though when you're using only sugar instead of a syrup is that the drink is more or less likely to become unbalanced since the sugar takes quite a while to incorporate into the liquid and some might end up stuck at the bottom of the glass.. My opinion however is that as long as the cocktail gets the right balance it shouldn't matter which one of them you're using. It's timeconsuming though doing a cordial a la minute in the glass, and it's also harder to get the right balance every time. I don't think it will affect the dilution very much using syrup instead of just sugar. If so, you could make a 2:1 simple syrup or even sweeter and use less of that.
      I didn't mention anything about the correct method or the recipe for the drink. Although from what I've heard the mojito is a drink that calls for cuban light rum, fresh limejuice (not lemon), sugar (I think white sugar fits the taste-profile of the light rum better than brown/demerara sugar as normally used in the cousin Queen's Park Swizzle), handful of mint and a touch of soda water. I bet there's other kinds of ways but my mojitos are served in smaller highball glasses over cubed ice. I guess it's because the drink would last longer that way in Cuba. The crushed ice as I've understood is something that we like to use in less warm countries to make it feel more "tropical". And yeah, it might be a non classic way to shake the mojitos, but if it tastes good/right why not. Even though I also build/lightly stir them.

    • @viirusiiseli
      @viirusiiseli 3 роки тому +1

      @@thedetvetdu I feel the best option is powdered sugar, 2 bar spoons worth. And extremely light on the soda, like max 15-20ml. I would even skip the soda if the recipe has 45ml rum. With 60ml rum you can already add a bit of dilution.
