[hova45]

Mmmmm. Mojitos. Mucho gusto.

My backyard mint field finally crapped out; it is time to either plant an indoor window box of mint or just concede that summer is gone and move over to martinis and Manhattans. Decisions, decisions.

I ran out of rum last week. I face a similar quandry...should I buy more rum (which I pretty much use for mojitos only) or invest in a nice scotch for fall/winter?

Well. That's it then. It's a regular quandry.

You could start a Poll and see what more mojito-experienced chimps and gorillas think.

No poll. End of quandry. Brilliant!

"Or?" Heh heh heh.

Mojitos are great, they're one of my favorite drinks. I am glad you found out about them and loved them.

The first and only Mojito I've ever had tasted exactly like mint toothpaste. Are they supposed to?

No, they're supposed to be sweet and minty.

I mix to barely sweet, a light hint of mint and booze/lime neutrality = clean-clean-clean. Thank you, Galaga. When it's on I find the rum invisible, the lime noticed in the nose but not on the tongue and the mint not overbearing. If you mix strong you can use crushed ice and a modest splash of club soda or sparkling water on top so the first sips are easy; as the ice melts and the drink wears on, it stays clean and very neutral.

You will not find many bartenders who make the drink clean to my taste; most I've had (outside my home) are overloaded with sugar and/or sour mix. Feh.

I've had this twice. The first time it was great, the second time (at the same bar, different bartender) it was terrible. I prefer a mint julep, though.

The mojito is a cocktail where the ingredients must be balanced. Too much or too little of any of them and the drink just doesn't work.
