I've been wondering if using other liquors is ok - my wife says RUM is hard on her, she's a big Ketel One fan, gonna try it tonight.

I think he meant anything but Bacardi RUM. It isn't a Mojito unless it's rum.
Experimentation is always fun. Good luck.


BTW, I would think if she can handle having her boobies bitten, she SHOULD be able to handle rum.

These things are indeed very dangerous!

I like to mix them in a shaker.
2 teaspoons of sugar or simple syrup
lime wedge and a few fresh mint leaves, torn
splash of rum
muddle with a real muddler
fill with ice and add 1-2 shots of rum
top with club soda and shake
add additional lime wedge and mint to garnish

This is a pretty standard recipe but a twist I heard was to use dark rum instead of the usual light rum b/c it's smoother. It hasn't failed me yet!

While I don't care much for the drink Jeff whips a pretty good one.

Barcardi is best suited for cleaning engine parts and toilet bowls.

I hate mojito's those little bastards flying around sucking all your blood out.

Mojito is best made with Havana Club white anejo rum. MMMMMMM.

Ever had a Caipirinha? Try one with mint, IMO just as good as a Mojito...maybe better! I guess its called a Mint Caipirinha. Who cares its freaking delicious.

To make one, you gotta get some Cachaca which is sugar cane liquor from Brazil. Its usually cheap. Then, cut up an entire lime into wedges, add 2 teaspoons of super fine sugar, and a sprig of mint. Muddle this until the juice is extracted from lime. Add a shot (or two) of Cachaca, crushed ice, put EVERYTHING, rinds and all, in a shaker, shake and pour it into a glass (this whole ordeal without mint is a regular caipirinha, which is pretty damn good as well).

Another simple but delicious variation on a Mojito is using Ginger Ale in lieu of Club Soda. I believe its just called a Ginger Mojito.

You can also track down some white Rhum Agricole, which is made from fresh pressed cane juice, instead of molasses. This method is generally used in the former French colonies in the Carribean, most notably Martinique. Neisson, La Favorite, Clemente white rums are all good, and their different profile from molasses based rums makes an interestingly different tasting drink. Rhum Agricoles have a very buttery, caramelly, and grassy profile that is just freaking delicious. Also, Rhum Barbancourt from Haiti is made in the same style, and is also a world class rum, but IMO not very good in a Mojito type drink. YMMV. These rhums are also 50% ABV too, so more bang for your buck.
