BoM - July '05 & Dec. '10
Searching the web, I found many variations of this recipe. From using simple sugar (water + sugar heated up and then mix it) to just using sugar, to using powered sugar, etc. What's a good recipe guys?

Yep... lime squeezed, so that you get the pulp.... 6-7 small mint leaves, mash... then add a little rum and add the pure cane sugar( you know the bigger grains in the brown packets)... this takes care of the sweet and sour mix... add more rum, shake.... and top off with a splash or two of bitters.... Damn good.... add cocunut if you like to add a different flavor, there are a ton of things you can do with these but the more "real" stuff you put in the better....

Spent alot of time researching this. ght - fresh lime juice and fresh mint ONLY. If no simple syrup - sugar is ok.Kingston said:
Muddled is correct.
And don't laugh - some more full bodied rums work as well like zaccapa
Pegu Lounge on Houston makes an interesting variation called the Old Cuban... champagne instead of club soda.
Well I can tell you that the ones at Floridita SUCK!!! ( Hemingways favorite hangout) I have been told I make one of the best Mojitos :blush:
Ok In a shaker
Add ice
2 tsp sugar (Simple syrup if you have it)
Fresh mint sprigs (It is the stems that have all the mint flavor) don't skimp
Fresh lime juice and a few wedges in limes
1 ½ oz to 2 oz of Havana club Blanco rum (I know it is hard to find but it tastes the best) if not Light higher end rum like Cane
Then shack the shit out of it:headroll:
In a glass fill with ice pour it in thru Shaker top
Top with club soda and a fresh mint sprig

At a bar, mojitos (if they even have mint)=$$$ since they're so trendy.
I usually order caipirihnas or cuba libres, since they're easy to make and don't require weird ingredients, well not too weird.
At home, they're all great on a sunny day staring at the City skyline.

Depending on which bar I go to, the extent of their mixing skills is adding to rum to coke. Anything that requires a shaker and I get the eye-roll.geoffrie said:

On the other hand there are a couple of bartenders in the area that actually enjoy their job, and I reward them for it.
