There is nothing like celebrating a special occassion than with a good Mojito. Whether it's a birthday, an anniversary or New Year's Party.
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 Mojitos - if you cannot see the video, please click HERE.

Great video, and what a cool drink to showcase, too! Ines, what was the word you used when you were talking about Rick's shirt? I didn't recognize it when you said it.
Happy New Year to both of you!

Ann - The shirt is called a "guayabera" - take a look at the wikipedia link. Latin Americans use these shirts althought their origin is disputed. But since the Mojito is supposed to be a Cuban drink, nothing like dressing it up with a Cuban shirt.

Permalink December 30, 2007 07:11:16 · http://www.PalmBeachRealEstateAndLoans.comGreat post and a great drink too - I haven't had one since I left Miami a few years ago.
(BTW - you might want to change '1/2 a line' to '1/2 a lime' .... it could be misinterpreted!)
Permalink December 30, 2007 11:25:49 · http://www.Miamism.comBob - a "4-patch" guayabera.....I don't know what that is! I know different countries have made slight changes to it and made it their own.
Chris - Ohhhh! a claw hammer....for crabs! I get it now.
Marc - thanks for that! definitely could be misinterpreted....especially here in Miami.
Permalink December 30, 2007 12:14:33 · http://www.Miamism.comBob - Rick tells me that the "4 patches" are the 4 pockets on the front of the shirt. That makes sense, doesn't it?

Permalink December 30, 2007 22:11:49 · http://www.nicktheappraiser.netI'm not sure which part of this Mo-jito video made me smile the mo-biggest.
Was it the ultra cool dude making a drink, or the fact that I feel like i've rubbed elbows with superstars?
Was it the fact that I though about having to do the 'muddling' up front, because after two of those two sugar-drinks i'd be unable to put 'muscle' into it?
Was it the fact that I think I know when this occurred, and I was within a few miles enjoying 'other drinks'?
Was it the fact that I noticed the editing before I read it in the comments, and thought about what being a superstar entails?
Was it that I'm drooling over a minty drink and noticing that the bottle of Limon was half empty?
or was it the typo? how long was that up like that??! At lest the N and M keys are right next to each other! hey, the N and M are next to each other. no wonder i never got a middle name :)

I have to remember that you "notice" things - was the bottle really half empty? OUCH!! I guess we like our mojitos!!
Have an awesome year my friend!
