Having had pnoon's mojitos I can only agree.

I am a mojito novice and my take is based on season-one of mojito mixing. Is the clean, light-mint lime/rum neutrality the object of the "correct" cocktail in your opinion? I was imprinted by my first mojito (Ruth's Chris) and it was my idea of the perfect drink; I had one other bar mojito that was anything close - all the others were skewed into spitout'ability.

My aim is to reinvent the first one I tasted. Now, having mixed dozens, I totally agree about the narrow ingredient balance. The mojito is not a mix for someone who doesn't give a rat's ass. Getting it right is sliding down a razor blade. I still need take one pre-pour taste in case something is a hair off.

Re: Had my first mojito

The Mojito was the first drink I learned how to make, and I love 'em. But my dad's as stubborn as any other Cuban out there, and he doesn't like Bacardi rum. So he insists on buying Meyers, or Captain Morgan's Special Reserve spiced/dark rums. They mostly do rum & coke's, but then when they have me make them mojitos, I think it tastes like crap with the spiced rum. Can anybody recommend a decent quality white rum that's not Bacardi, and is less than $30 a bottle, so I can try and show him that they're better with white rum? Thanks,
Adam

Re: Had my first mojito

I usually use Cruzan, I think I usually pay around $25 per bottle.

I usually make mine with Sprite instead of soda water, I think I just haven't tried the right mix of sugar and soda.

Re: Had my first mojito

Had my first last night courtesy of KASR (Aaron). I am usually not a mixed drink kindof guy but I must say that now I am hooked.
