Description
Mojito is one of the best summer cocktails which is famous all around the world. It consists of brown rum, limes, peppermint, cane sugar and a bunch of crushed ice. It's a sour mixture with peppermint flavour, a lot of alcohol and a crunching finish. Entertainment is always provided, most people love to stir and play around with the straws. The rattling of the ice provides a pleasant atmosphere.
In Cuba they prepare Mojito with white cane sugar. Brown cane sugar passes less cleaning steps during production and contains therefore additional flavourings. Mojito tastes at least as good with brown cane sugar then with white one. More important is the grain size, the bigger the crunchier, many people like that.
You should use untreated limes. Otherwise, wash treated limes under hot water and rob them dry. That helps a lot to reduce the amount of the poisonous pesticides that are possibly deposited on top of the lime peel.
A great choice in summer, with hot temperatures Mojito always becomes a big hit, independent of your guests gender, taste and age. Mojito always goes down well with everybody.

Preparation
Method: Smashing and compound
Bar equipment: Pestle
1.
Muddeling the lime
Start with cutting the washed lime half into four pieces and put them into a resistant thick-walled glass (Gibraltar glasses are perfect). Add cane sugar and all the peppermint except of one top (e.g. top 6 leaves) that you put aside for the decoration. Then use a mortar to muddle it a couple of times.
2.
Adding rum
Next, add rum and stir it well with a spoon.
3.
Serving
Finally, fill it up with crushed ice and garnish with the peppermint top. Serve it ice cold with 1-2 black straws.

Everywere they sell Mojito with white rum, they aren't bad, but the version with brown rum tastes so much better..
Gestern hatte ich zum ersten Mal Mojitos mit braunem Rum (Havanna Club) ausprobiert. Sehr sehr lecker, werde sie von nun an nur noch so zubereiten.
