Mojito, one of the most controversial drinks: syrup vs sugar, peppermint v's mint, lime v's lemon, soda vs water, white vs aged rum, Angostura or no Angostura, etc.
Haha 100% agree. Also I have never seen it shaken and strained as in this video. I’ve also had one made with sprite and it was delicious! Until I told my Cuban friend and he tried to smack me...
You forgot chopped mints or smack on the palm your your hands
@@mycatsballs8195 and crushed ice is better
Lemon???
As soon as he shook it I knew I had to come to the comments. Fkn hilarious
Lmao every Mojito video I find is filled with salty people going on about how wrong the video is.
Enmanuel Gandulla yeah I've noticed that too
To be fair, I've never seen it shaken aswell.
MrC4ctu5 to be fair shaking it only makes it better.
@@drunkenmasterii3250 to be fair he need to add lime wedges and mudle them along with mint.
@@gouthambolt to be fair original cuban receipe(and offical iba receipe) uses fresh lime juice not muddled wedges...
Look guys, I add mint leaves to my shaker. I just give it a clap to release oils. Add sugar or symple syrup. I add the lime juice. Then I add my rum and ice. I shake and strain into a cup that has more mint leaves at the bottom. It comes out good. I mean as long as its good why should it matter!
The only problem I see with this is the little pieces of mint that you might suck up the straw, but otherwise it's delicious 😊
In regards to the whole shaken not stirred argument here. Bartending 101, ALWAYS shake when your cocktail involves citrus juices.. lemon or lime.
Then Double Strain it
@@josephgorospe444 yes
As I read through the comments about the recipe here versus how they would do it in Cuba, I'm amused-- I'm reading a book where some highly respected pioneers in the bar industry go to Cuba to seek out the finest rums and see the "true" daiquiri, mojito, etc... and they are totally disappointed at how mediocre and imbalanced they are. Just interesting to note.
What’s the books name
Yeah I guess they are right, I have seen a lot of cuban bartenders make a lot of cringy stuff. I think Americans have perfect this and many other cocktails tbh, I'm Mexican btw
this is a nice tutorial
nice video - thanks
not shaken man, stirred at best. And don't filter the mint leaves...
I have been making mojitos both ways lately, and I prefer them shaken. I know it's not the usual method, but shaken does taste better to my friends and me.
I prefer it stirred with the mint left in. That way once you've finished the cocktail, you can press the mint with the straw and drink some of the thawed ice water and it'll be even tastier and more refreshing than the cocktail itself. ;)
Odd question. Is it possible to make a larger batch so I’m covered most of the day as I float by the pool or is it best to make it one drink at a time.
I don't see how people are saying "slap the mint" like you'd be okay with that in a bar setting?that's unsanitary. As long as you muddle the line on top of the mint, I would think, the lime protects it to a certain degree?
Classic mojito never been shake ..
liquid truffle deluted CORRECT
first time i see someone shaking a mojito
Much more class when large mint leaves are visible..
I was looking for virgin mojito 🥲
I dont know if this allowed. But i'll try it anyway.
I have now watched 4 videos on making a mojito and this one is very different what with the shaking and squeezing the lime juice. Has anyone tried this? How’d it taste?
tastes far better than un squeeze lemons.
I will suggest you a different one try this :
take 15- 20 mint leaves and muddle them (dint crush completely).
add sugar syrup 1 tbsp.
add salt 1 tea spoon.
lemon juice 3/4 oz.
white rum as per your requirement.
add extremely chilled sprite instead of soda water.
also add some crushed ice inside of ice cubes.
you will experience heaven after drinking this mojito😇.
He shakes his mojito? Haven’t seen that before 😮
Looks great doesn't it?
NEVER MUDDLE THE MINT. lmao
I'm late to the party but just like everyone else on the internet I feel like I need to give my opinion. The thing you'll learn about mojitos is that everyone makes them differently so just do it however feels right to you. However, my biggest issue with this video is that this dude did not double strain, what is the point of straining at all if you're not going to double strain those mint chunks out
Because he has a high quality strainer. If you use a poor quality Strainer a lot more , a lot more leaves end in the cocktail.
Bro you forgot lime slice 😢
What country was this video made? It it a member of IBA?
he’s so cutie
1 to 2 tablespoons of cane sugar is easier...
Shake? Yes, but add the ice to the shaker first.
he does
kena dengan lasagna, saya lari bogel terus... promise
Shake???
You should never shake a Mojito.
Whaaaack
Mojitos shouldn’t be shaken😭 I make them in the glass by adding 5 squeezed lime wedges and a handful on mint, muddle them together lightly then add crushed ice then add simple syrup then the rum so by the time the rum has run down to the bottom it will be sweet , then it all gets stirred and more ice is added on top with soda water to finish 😊
Hot water that has been through the water heater 🤢
This is not the mojito you would get in Cuba. Cuban bartenders don't use simple syrup (which is sweeter than sugar), they use fine Cuban sugar. The mint leaves aren't muddled, they're tapped a couple of times with a muddler. Mojitos are never shaken. The sugar is dissolved in the rum and lime juice by stirring with a bar spoon. Ice is put in, then it's topped with soda and stirred gently again. Sometimes (not always, but often) they have Angostura bitters in them. The only thing this video gets correct is the fresh lime juice. Everything else is not right, or at least, more like something you would get at TGIFridays and not in a good Havana bar.
Morgan Childs everyone the worlds leading authority on mojitos
Beat it, nerd.
"nerd"
Morgan Childs golden sugar to be exact
Banda ms
Not the real mojito... Why even mother watching it when I saw cube ice in thumbnail
where can you get mint leaves?
Can't I buy simple syrup instead?
So many mistakes i can't even count them ... i just gave up when i saw a shaker in a "Mojito" video ... but at least double strain after shaking so you customer doesnt drink small pieces of minth wtf.
Does anyone know what that glass container he has the simple syrup in is called
a bottle
Looks more like a flask.
No that is not how you make an authentic mojito
This is the worts mojito I've ever tried.
How do you do it then?
Sorry but the perfect mojito is actually a mint julep.
good one!
Did he really just shake a Mojito..... 😵
Shaken, mint strained, simple sirup instead of sugar, that are things i can ignore, whatever you prefer, but what are you doing to that poor mint?
You talk about not destroying the mint while doing exactly that. Just slap it before you add it to the drink, you don't have to muddle at all.
I agree. I'm with him all the way except for the mint. Ratios, shaken, but for the love of God.. DON'T BRUISE THAT MINT.
@@josefk5659 Haha he grinds the mint THEN shakes it as tells us not to muddle to hard.
Thats not Mojito
amatour...
Made ir just like this.. it was trash
first
Cool video, Drink looks sexy, but you can't call it the perfect mojito if you are using simple syrup...a mojito should be made with sugar cane juice and should also be garnished with sugar cane.
No no no! Its ALLLLLL wrong.
Nope that’s not you make s real mojito
N'importe quoi ! 😩👎
👎👎👎
Mojito. You can use syrup or sugar(if sugar make sure it dissolves completely - long stirring) fresh mint 1) mudler but very gently(the guy in the video is squashing to much and ...) - very unpopular 2) spank the mint stir it 3) shake the mint with ice (... but strain it for god sake and no need to smash it up with mudler than shake it but dont strain it - I think the guy lost the plot of mojito) white rum, glass topped with crushed ice to the top. Top it up with soda water or water or if tou really fine crushed ice the lime juice will fill up the glas to half and finish it with rum only. Stir again every time at the end if you keep adding anything to serving glass even if you shake the mojito and you adding water or soda water in it. Thank you the guy in video is just not on the point that is all I wanted to say.
Perfect mojito ? Muddleing the herbs ?? instead of give them a clap, filtering the mint leaves ? dont muddle the lime ? and suger suryup ? More like how to make the most uncorrected mojito..
And dont get me started that you shaked the mojto...
lol dont shake a mojito
