When I was in La Bodeguita del Medio I saw the bartender making a Mojito pretty similar to what you did with the 'Slow' Mojito version. He had a lot of glasses (I would say 50 of them) already filled with mint leaves, sugar, and lime juice, so all three ingredients were slowly soaking and infusing. When he needed to make a Mojito, he just lightly muddled mint and added some rum, ice, and soda water to prepare the mojito. Just like that, there was a bunch of people standing on the street in front of the bar and drinking this refreshing delight. I would say, that place adds some taste to the drink because this was one of the best mojitos I have ever had. Great episode again my friend! Cheers!

I've grown to love mojitos and I prefer the slower method! I also put elderflower liqueur in it as well. I feel it's a good middle ground between flavors and adds depth to it all

Hey ..a cuban here! Here in miami we do it in a large bach by muddling the limes and the mint with white sugar in a pitcher or one of those bigs measuring cups from oxo. Then we add the rum ...a whole bottle . In the glass we put a big ice bar and some mint leaves for garnish ..then the secret ingredient 😋 1/4 once of maraschino liquor😋 then you fine strain the mix in and top with Topochico soda Give it a try ... We also enjoy very much some guava juice in it to kind of give it a guava flavor mijito

That is the way I always had my Mojitos before (at home but also in bars). I was really suprised to learn that it is "normally" made with sugar syrup and lime juice. I still prefer the 2nd version, for two reasons: the sugar crystals you suck up through the straw add a nice texture to the drink and the oils from the lime skin truly contribute to the flavor.

@WhiskeySugarBitters

It is interesting the discussion about using raw sugar in cocktails. I personally don't like it (I always joke and say "I don't want to eat my cocktails" :)). I would probably do something in between and still use syrup and muddle the lime 🙂

Also, it's crazy how everybody has their own recipe for this drink and each one is so different. The way i make a mojito is nothing like how you do it. Always good to learn other recipes!

Ahh totally agree with you there is a tons of ways of making mojitos ! However my fast technique is similar to your slow version. Put directly into a tumbler glass 1 or 2 beautiful springs of mint, 2 large spoon of demerara sugar, 20ml of freshly squeezed lime juice, 40 ml of light brown rum (our twist here) and natural sparkling water. Muddle everything 4-5 times to Express the oil (the water slows the movement so no bitterness is expressed from the leaves) and then put some crushed iced . It usually took me 30sec to make a mojito in this way with 5 extra sec for the lime wheel and the mint spring on top. I appreciate a lot your content keep sharing with us your ideas !!

la seconda ricetta. Bravo!!!

I have always wanted to learn how to make a good mojito and have never been successful with previous recipes that I've tried. I watched your video and followed the directions for the "slow version" and am super happy with how it turned out! It's not the best mojito I've ever had but it's the best one I've ever made. It seems to be a drink that that requires some practice and so I anticipate that I will improve over time. Thanks so much for making this drink attainable for a non-bartender to make at home!

Legend! I'm hosting my BBQ/cocktail party tomorrow and this has helped massively!

Looks yum!

This is incredible! I swear that just yesterday I bought a bunch of mint and said to myself "I should learn how to make a Mojito, I don't remember that Anders did a Mojito video..."

In Greece we make it the slow way. I used to work in a bar in a greek island and sometimes i had to make 20 mojitos for some groups of Italians. They loved to see them on the bar and take photos with all of them together in front of me! The difference is that i put the lime and the sugar first for a good squeeze and then the mint. All my best,i love your videos.

Well then...that's so simple and yet I'm absolutely dying to try that. To the bar!

the second one looks so delicous ! On my way to buy some rum now :D

Man I could swear the first one I ever had was in 2002 at Racine's (RIP) in Denver, and it included light rum, dark rum, spiced rum and coconut rum with sprite (or coke) and mint. And it was so delicious I was addicted! But I never had another one like that unless I made it myself. Literally no one I ever bought drinks from ever heard of it being made that way. 💗💗

Thanks brother 💛

At the Bacardi distillery they make mojitos at the end of the tour, and they muddle the mint and sugar into a paste. Very mint forward as a result. DELICIOUS. Now, that’s how I make my mojitos

Now im going to make two mojitos for my fife and me and we will have this with a couple of cigars ;). Thanks for the inspiration.

i love the static clock stuck at 5pm....always happy hour at Anders crib!I i like the slower version, that's how bartender in Cuba do it, stirring sugar with the raw mint, there is a bit of drama in this method, but they figured something out that makes it better doing it this way.

I love mojitos when I make them I don't add sugar. I prepare the mint syrup. and they are super delicious everyone wants more More an more 👋👋👋👍👍👍👍
