    aaaaaahhhhhhhhh

    it was probably mascabado sugar, which is brown cane sugar. not the american "brown sugar."

    simple syrup is the way to go dissolves in the cocktail much easier

    I'm not a drink maker by any means so I just did what they told me. But I made a few drinks that were pretty damn good. What kind of syrup?

    just boil equal parts water and sugar- makes a "simple syrup."

    usually they're not that sweet - just light and refreshing. I've had some really bad ones made with fake mint syrup instead of real mint. ugh

    Sounds like it. It's supposed to have sugar in it but it's not supposed to be really sweet. The mint should be main thing you're tasting in that drink (not in a overpowering way though). Speaking of which....that damn barcardi mojito commercial came on. I never had that much fun crushing up the mint.

    mojito's aren't bad. i like the bacardi mojito's with pommegranate (sp?)

    my favorite drink of all time though is a white russian. once, at a wedding reception, i was drinking a shit-ton of them and at one point the bartender asked me if i ever had a 'cocaine lady'. i said i never heard of it, what was it. he said it's like a white russian on steroids. so i ordered one. couldn't tell you everything that's in it, but i did see quite a few bottles being tipped into the glass, along with the vodka, kahluah (again, sp?), and cream. after shaking it up, he popped open a pepsi and poured just a bit of it into the drink. damn good drink. i've since asked bartenders when i'm out if they know how to make one and i keep getting the same puzzled look. bums me out, but i still have the white russians to rely on.

    I will agree with Dunk that the Mojito is a good cocktail.

    The Cocaine Lady looks good too. Damn work! :(

    I love mojitos.
    That or gin and tonic.
    I'm with you. :) I only discovered good Mojitos a few years ago since I usually don't like rum or rum drinks (too sweet usually), but with the mint I find I like it. Gin and tonic is my old fav, but also good homemade margaritas. Good tequila, a bit of Cointreau, and lots and lots of fresh lime.

    Sugar cane juice is IMO the best way to sweeten a mojito.

    And please, no strawberries, or watermelon or anything like that.

    mojitos are not girly drinks

    the flavored ones are as with any fruit flavored "martini"

    me, Im a scotch and beer guy.
    And the occasional extra dry martini
    but Im not responsible for my actions once I start drinking gin

    Dunk, Dunk, Dunk...

    Word of advice bro, don't admit mojitos are your favorite drink, especially here in America, and certainly don't admit that while wearing your kilt.
