Step 1 mentions the lime juice, but lime juice is omitted from the ingredient list. How much lime juice do you use? I assume fresh squeezed is preferred?

Really great and thorough explanation, this recipe is quite the only you need in order to make a mojito.

The bartender at Palazzo Giuseppe’s, in San Luis Obispo, makes an excellent Mango Mojito. I ordered three on friday! He serves them in a martini glass rimmed with sugar. The food, drinks, and local beauty of SLO are well worth the drive up north for a weekend get away. The chef at Giuseppe’s, Richard Wirz, was recently named in California’s Central Coast Magazine as one of the ten top chef’s in the area.

Try key limes, ‘tho I don’t know how available they are outside south Florida. Yummie.

Please, whatever you do – don’t add Fee Brothers Mint Bitters! I went into a friends bar as he was experimenting with some of the Fee Brothers range and he thought it a good idea to add the bitters. Just tasted wrong. It had an odd minty ice cream flavour to it.

Also I’m not an advocate of Sugar Cane syrup either. The mouthfeel is too cloying – not what you need in a Mojito. But to each their own, eh?

@DJR

Wholefoods 365 Key Lime Soda has been duly noted, thanks for the tip. The mint is starting to take over the planter and could use a little trim. Will be trying it out with the Key Lime Soda very soon.

Matusalem Silver and or Barbancourt both available at BevMo?

I will be posting a Caipirinha recipe very soon, dont forget to subscribe to the update :) Thanks for reading.

Great recipe!

Couple of comments: Your comments about the quality of the rum are extremely important! Good rum means NOT GRAIN NEUTRAL SPIRITS and certainly NOT BACARDI! My favorite is Patron’s Pyrat Silver which I think is no longer in production but Matusalem Silver and or Barbancourt are both great options.

Other thing is that we have been making them with Wholefoods 365 Key Lime Soda versus club soda which has been a real crowd pleaser for us. I still like them with Club Soda but the variety is nice!
