what is this

[fine,thanks]

mahito ?

[bednobs]

do you mean mojito?

(pronounced like mo - heat -oh)
its a cocktail

3 Dashes Angostura Bitters
2 Shots White Rum
1 Shot Lime Juice
Top up Soda
1 Teaspoon Sugar Syrup

[Donquixote]

That's not a mojito!!!!!

You need mint leaves.... mint, rum, sugar syrup, lime, soda.

[bednobs]

isnt that almost exactly the same, just without the mint garnish?

[kempie]

Yes, but it's not a mojito without the mint (traditionally spearmint).

[Donquixote]

Sorry, bednobs...didn't mean to appear rude!

The mint isn't a garnish, though. It's an integral part of the drink. The leaves should be muddled together with the sugar syrup in the glass before the other ingredients are added.

[bednobs]

aha, everything becomes clear!
it still sounds utterly vile!

thanks ?

a great recipe for a mojito is:
fresh mint leaves and fresh squeezed limes (about 3) with an ounce of simple syrup (half water, half sugar, dissolved) muddled into the bottom of a glass
next, fill with ice and pour 1and a half ounces of bacardi limon and fill the rest with soda water (and ounce and a half)
shake and enjoy!
