    When I was in Puerto Rico, I had a drink that was essentially a modified vieux carre. Swap the whiskey for a brown rum, simple syrup for the Benedictine, and chocolate bitters for the angostura and peychauds bitters. It was served in a glass with a chocolate covered rim, and an orange twist. I highly recommend it!

    I do the mojito with soda, but I drink it on the rocks instead of crushed ice.
    I like shaking it with the mint in the shaker, so you get all the oils from the mint. Double strain in a longdrink glas with ice cubes, top with soda add 1-2 nice limewheels in the glas and a big mint bouquet (sorry my French is horrible, I hated it in school). The drink will look really green and taste minty, tard, but balanced and you will get the Cuban rum, the soda makes it really fresh.
    2oz rum, 1oz lime (you can put the pressed lime in the shaker to get the oils in, but you do not need to), 22.5ml up to 1oz simple syrup, 8 mint leaves

    1:34.... What you said is exactly why I always crush my lemons and limes with the syrup First, then I add Mint on top of it so the mint can be better infused with all the oils and I can open up the leaves of the mint better through Muddling. This method I used always gets good Feed back.

  • @reginanegra
    @reginanegra 4 роки тому +2

    11:32 You are correct, the original cocktail did not include soda, but as you said the original was not called a Mojito. Mojito became popular in the mid 20th century and there was soda around by that time. Anyway, things evolve over time ofc, and also there are a million variations of each drink out there, but I still like my Mojito with soda. Nice video!

    I'm new at this and the favorite one I've made so far is
    8 mint leaves
    4 shakes of fee black walnut bitters
    .75 oz lime juice
    .75 oz peppermint ginger syrup (add a tea bag when you make simple syrup) you could probably just use simple syrup
    .75 oz plume and petal cucumber vodka
    2 oz roku gin
    Shake and pour over ice
    Garnish with orange peel and mint
    I could probably simplify it using cucumber gin but let me know what you think

    I have been having some trouble with the jungle bird for a while as I feel like the pineapple overpowers the other flavours in the drink too much. How do you make sure that this does not happen? I just bought a goslings black seal rum for dark n stormy, that might be a shout in the jungle bird right?

    I love cocktail history, so I have to point out that the recipe for the Vieux Carré was actually first published in 1937 in “Famous New Orleans Drinks and How to Mix ‘Em” by Stanley Clisby Arthur. He did credit to Bergeron for creating it, but that obviously had to have happened in the early 1930s.

  • @jarrellseymour312
    @jarrellseymour312 3 роки тому +1

    In the first drink when you muddled that drink in the shaker you didn't get to break up the leaves with the muddler because you had all the lemons on top of the mint leaves. Always crush your limes and lemons first to get the zest in the cocktail, then add the mint leaves on top to better crush it with all the oils while opening up the mint flavor in the leaves. Just a tip brother.

    Maybe different glassware with a wider mouth might help with the top of soda in the mojito?

      The Educated Barfly surely a dash of soda is more traditional than shaking it ?

      @@TheEducatedBarfly Sure. I was just asking your opinion if a change in glassware would help the soda (if someone prefers the recipes with soda) mix and not get trapped at the top of the pebble ice like you mentioned in the video
