Made up some mojitos this weekend. Unfortunately, the mint I was able to get to was on the crappy side. Not as fresh as I would have liked.

Here's my recipe. In a pint glass, 2 1/4s of a lime; 6 tsps of simple syrup, a good size of mint. Muddle. Add a good amount of ice.

Add hoever much rum (I used 10 Cane) you want, I did 2-3 shots. Top with club soda, stirl up.

What a coincidence! I've never had a Mojito, but I've been dying to try one and now this thread has really got me licking my chops! :razz:

They are good if made the right way,....

if making for yourself then it will take practice to make it the way you want.. some people like sweet, some like more lime.. I for one would not be able to drink the ones that Tom likes because there would be too much sugar..

It is a science..

More rum, followed by the lime bite, and just enough mint to taste it but not overpower it :thumbsup: And sugar is somewhere in there :rofl:

Guys,
Unless you are making drinks for your wife's Bunko party, you shouldn't be worried about it. If you are making drinks for the ladies, a store bought mix will work. Now if you'ld like a good drink let's talk about some 18 year Macalllan with 2 rocks and a nice smoke. Just messin about the mojitos, they are way to sweet for me.

Did anyone catch the Gordon Gecko quote? Greed is good...
