Couple weeks ago I suggested a drink of the week...whoever wants to demonstrate their drink. This week I will show you how to make a proper Mojito...Had a few today and took a few pics to demonstrate how they are made. How would I know what proper is? Well, Me and Mrs. Engineer went on a cruise one time, and we boarded out of San Juan Puerto Rico. The thing is that when we got back into port, they kick you off the boat pretty early so they can turn it around. Well, we stayed a couple days in Puerto Rico and one of the things I wanted to do was tour the Bacardi Plant. So we went from the cruise ship to Bacardi...At 9:00 AM on a Sunday...and started drinking Mojito's and Cuba Libre. We learned right from the source.
So here we go.
At the Bacardi Plant tour...it is pretty cool
The Bacardi Bat...on every bottle.
The Recipe we got from Bacardi. When we got home we planted a mint patch.
Put sugar in a glass.
Add mint leaves to the glass.
I use the back of a spoon to "muddle" the leaves. What this means to me is that you bruise the leaves into the sugar to impart the mint flavor.
Add lime to the mix.
Add Rum
Fill the glass with club soda
Add Ice and garnish with a sprig of mint. I usually spoon out all of the bruised mint leaves.
Incredibly refreshing! When it's hot outside, man are these good!
