Homemade Mojitos?

[Oceanedge]

Okay, first off I discovered last year that I love Mojitos. Unfortunately, I discovered this drink at a bar/restaurant.
Soon after this discovery, I moved across the country and cannot find a bar that serves a decent Mojito in the Tampa area.....

So this leads me to my next question...do any of you know how to make this drink at home?...I've looked up several recipes online...and most of the time I end up drinking a clear drink with some leaves floating around in it...that tastes like vodka and sugar water..and freshly cut grass.... :xpl:

Anybody succesully making Mojitos at home?

Uh, aren't Mojitos supposed to be made with white rum and not vodka? You might want to start here:

LOL...yes....I did use rum...I just said that it tasted like Vodka...and I only said it tasted like Vodka because I didn't want to say what it really tasted like....I would get banned from the forum.!!

They serve them everwhere around here in PA.. when I make them at home I usually do:

3 mint sprigs
1.5 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp lime juice
2 oz light rum
club soda

mango mojito is good too, I use Cruzan mango rum and 1/2 the lime juice as above, otherwise same recipe




usually tastes very similar to the ones from the bars / restaurants

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

Hey bro, I discoverd this drink as well here in PalmHarbor. It's supposed to be 151 rum as well. Let's get together when we do my car and give it another shot. Haaaaaaaaaaa.

Do you actually go to Tampa/Ybor City? In Ybor there are a bunch of good Cuban restaurants that serve great mojitos.

mojitos = boo

Haven't some Cubans made there way up to Tampa? I would think you could get good Mojitos anywhere in Florida.
