Since we are huge fans of Mojitos here in Miamism and since The Mojito has become our staple.  We wanted to provide information and become the GO-TO-PLACE when it came to making, finding and enjoying Mojitos.

In the following section, you will find THE MIAMISM MOJITO RECIPE, reviews, photos and videos of Mojitos in Miami and in different places throughout the US.

We are open to your ideas, so send us reviews (good and bad), and don’t forget to include address and website links so we can include them here.

Cheers!!

(and don’t forget to drink responsibly)

MOJITO BLOOPERS

Mojito Reviews

in Miami, Miami Beach, The US and Worldwide

Everyone knows we love mojitos…..but nothing like waking up in the morning to a message from a friend showing how they went out of their way to make you feel great….and on New Year’s Day!! So here’s Irina Netchaev from Pasadena, California showing us her version of the mojito. Talk about bringing Miami to the west coast!

….another MIAMISM!!

We’d like to take this opportunity to introduce Miamism Mojito 411 – the idea is to provide a interactive Mojito Resource with reviews from all over the country and world. So if you have recently had a mojito, tell us about it and we’ll include it – whether it’s the good, the bad or the ugly – it’s a work in progress….so we also accept feedback.

** Here at Miamism we love to post your Miami Photos. If you have a shot you want to share please join the Miamism Group at Flickr.com – or you can e-mail the photos directly to us at info@miamism.com *

We have received the Ultimate Compliment here at Miamism – Jeff Turner, bka @respres has not only gotten hooked on Mojitos, but actually tried making them from scratch and shot a video of himself doing it!  This is the same guy that came up with giving…

Mojito alternatives for those of us that are not as “adventurous” and a bit “lazy” and don’t feel like making mojitos from scratch

That’s what I call MIAMISM LOVE!!  Doesn’t get any better than that!

Mojitos! Mojitos!! It’s not always about Miami Beach homes.  Time to revive an old post that has gotten awesome feedback!

There is nothing like celebrating a special occasion than with a good Mojito. Whether it’s a birthday, an anniversary or New Year’s Party. (or Labor Day)!

Did you know that The Mojito is the official drink of Miami?

Rick and I decided that it would be a good idea to show you how to make a Mojito from scratch…..not store bought….and you could even show off with your friends when they come visit.

Before we start, please remember to drink responsibly and we do not condone underage drinking. Please Don’t drink and drive.

Mojito Ingredients

• 12 fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 a line (ooops) lime
• 1/2 part sugar
• 1 part Rum
• 3 parts club soda

Mojito Instructions

Place mint leaves, sugar and lime in a mixer or glass. Muddle well with a pestle or “muddler”. Add rum and top off with club soda. Stir well and garnish with sprigs of mint and lime wheel.

Drink up!

In this video, you will find hands-on instructions from Rick himself – showing you how to make a Mojito – if you cannot see the video, please click HERE.

Here’s the fun part.  Jeff Turner of Real Estate Shows gave me the idea to bring this Mojito post back to life but with a twist (no pun intended) – he said:

You should give Mojito alternatives for those of us that are not as “adventurous” and a bit “lazy” and don’t feel like making mojitos from scratch

Rick and I did some research and this is what we came up with:

Please know that we don’t endorse any of these products and will have to do a follow-up video giving you our opinion of each one of them- they are in no particular order:

• Mojito Alternative Number 1 – Smirnoff Mojito Cocktail – here’s a Vodka Mojito (don’t know how happy that makes me) – it’s made with Smirnoff No. 21, Kaffir Lime Liqueur and mint – all you do is serve in tall glass over ice and garnish with fresh mint or lime wedge.  (can see more at www.smirnoff.com)

• Mojito Alternative Number 2 – Bacardi Silver Mojitos – these are pre-made bottled malt beverages that come in original, mango and pomegranate flavors – I personally can only drink one of these….the whole malt taste doesn’t do much for me. (can get more info at bacardisilver.com)

• Mojito Alternative Number 3 – Roses Traditional Mojito Mix – all you have to do here is add rum and ginger ale (I have not tried these either) – the mix also comes in traditional, mango and passion fruit.(more info at www.rosesmojito.com)

• Mojito Alternative Number 4 – Bacardi Mojito Mixers found in the frozen section of your grocery store – all you do is add rum and club soda.  Not only have we tried this option, but we use it as a quick alternative when we are boating and cannot make mojitos from scratch – if you doc them up a bit with mint and more lime….they are delish! (more info at www.instantparty.com – and it has a really cool interactive virtual dance party)

Thanks Jeff for the awesome idea – go give these a taste and let us know if you like them or not (and look forward to the third part of Miamism Mojitos when Rick and I actually taste the alternatives on live video) – but for now, remember that there’s nothing like the real thing!

Enjoy your mojitos!
