ARRGGHHH!!!

I am sorry, but it is my personal opinion that barcardi is the creamosa's of rum.

As an experienced Mojito drinker, first let me tell you they can be made with any rum, but a dark rum is better, not a thick rum like Goslings, Myers or Black Strap. But more on the lines of Appleton, Mt Gay or Cruzan Estate. Making a proper mojito is an art in and of itself. First one starts with fresh mint leaves and lime wedges, put them in a large glass and muddles them, then you add your CRUSHED or SHAVED ice, next a healthy dose of rum, your simple syrup (sugar water) and a splash of seltzer or club soda, shake once to mix, serve with a sprig of mint and a straw.

The best Mojitos I have found are made at the Conch Republic Seafood Company in Key West Florida using "Conch Republic Dirty White Rum"

of course the above is solely a personal opinion

Re: A Mojito and A Cigar
the most used way is to put a shot of the green fairy (absynth) into the glass
place a sugar cube on the absyth spoon (spoon with holes in! ) and very very slowly pour water (ice cold) over the sugar . till your glass is 2 thirds full.
stir with spoon, and drink. not forgetting to light up cigar.

I'm actually surprised this did not make it earlier
A mojito and cigar is a close second though.

I've got a bottle of Barbancourt Three Star 4 year old at home. Do you think that would work?

Use a bit for a Sazerac, you really just coat the glass with it but it is in there none the less and makes for a great drink. Most places use Herbsaint or Pernod but absinthe is the traditional method

And I agree that Bacardi is foul stuff.

AMEN!

I dig Diplomatico or for Rum and Cokes Ron Barcelo Anejo Rum. It's cheap and makes excellent Rum and Cokes!

Yummy,

ATL
