Two Ways To Make A Mojito - history and recipes

How do you make your mojito? Everyone seems to have their own recipe. Cheers everyone! 😊
BTW it’s aguardiente with a T, not a D - sorry for the typo!

Very good job ...I'm cuban, i was a bartender in cuba , in AMBOS MUNDOS hotel ... is where Hemingway used to stay in havana,in that hotel he's room is museum now ...

Real talk, put the mint in the shaker and blind test the drinks. You wont be able to tell a difference.

These type of mojitos are Americanized cocktails not as original as made in cuba! Real mojitos does not have club soda.. however there different types of mojitos recipes. original has only Mint, half Lime juice with half water , sugar and rum to taste "2oz". thats original... but, good recipes on this video! Passion fruit Mojito very GOOD!!!

The "Anders Mojito" is popular around here, but requires crowd control (keep them busy cutting lime quarters).

Just made a “fast” mojito with our fresh mint and it’s amazing. Cheers Anders!

i am really tired of your editorializing snark for historical figures you dont like--first its Hemingway, now its Frances Drake. NO ONE CARES that you think he wasnt a "nice guy". Your juvenile judgmental snark ruins your videos and I have unsubscribed.

Slow way all day.

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. 💗💗

I use regular 7 Up instead of sugar and soda water and people love it

Sorry, but use a wider glass, these small glasses should be banned and never ever used to make a mojito

are you using 2 measures of demerara sugar to 1 water because this sugar is double less sweet than reg sugar?

use piloncillo instead

It's 5'O Clock over there ...

Loved this video. Especially your female friend saying, quite frankly, ' this one's better'. Visually, a beautiful video. good lighting and everything looks fresh, clear, clean and inviting. Very inviting! Thanks Anders. You're a top character.

Thanks for that. NOW I am craving a mojito 😢

You want to kick it up a notch use a good dark honey instead of sugar

The Slow way is lot fatter, more round., Thanks, Anders this was a great B-day drink.

I have tried my own versions..Sometimes cheap And other times costly And time-consuming Example Try getting Key limes Or Philippine lime which changes the taste ..hard to come by in my country (Fresh) Other brands of rum also effect the out come .....2 things make a good mojito ALOT of mint And ...less ice ICE takes away flavor on the tongue The colder it is the less flavors Aswell as fills up the glass with water.....1 maybe 2 cubes ....3 if it is outside And super hot out

I have to say, not calling the second one a “Slow Mo” feels like a missed opportunity. Fantastic video though, as always!

both are good but they are on your style but nothing better than the original with the real Cuban rum blessings

I absolutely love how it dives into the origins and cultural significance of this iconic drink, adding an extra layer of appreciation when sipping on a perfectly crafted Mojito.

P.F Changs makes a coconut mojito. Not the least bit embarrassed😂 that I lost count of how many I've had.

I drink my mojitos way too fast for it to change overtime, but that a cute idea.... 🤣

That’s too much mint bro.!!! 😅😂

Bro none of them is a mojito😂😂

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!

Love the comparison. Thanks for the breakdown. Def. going with the slow version.

Demerara Sugar 😊 🇬🇾

You hat looks silly

Nice. Great video. I’m going to definitely be trying this recipe. I just watched a video of a bartender in Cuba making one. I’ll be trying it too. He used sugar instead of syrup and used 50/50 water lemon juice then topped with ice and finished with rum. Zero carbonation. Curious how that’s going to be.

Bro I never see mojito without ice crush😂😂😂

Slow method looks nice. I might do half and half of sugar and syrup.

Great recipe! What brand is the soda water container you have?

Everyone makes them so different it’s insane how different they can taste. Every time I go out and order it they all have tasted like water I gotta master it myself lol.

thanks😃

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 can only imagine Sir Francis Drake n the crew pillaging n stealing things just to stop n grab this drink someone left n go ... "Damn that's good"
continues to pillage
😂

I was always taught to have 16 or so mint leaves and 4 lime wedges muddled in 25ml of sugar syrup in the glass, full with crushed ice in the mojito glass. Add 50ml of white rum and top with soda, then mix it evenly across the glass and add a mint sprig that you used for the mint leaves down the middle of it with two straws down the side. The sprig is nice because you get that mint smell every time you take a sip. I've never seen a shaken mojito before

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.

New to the channel!
I'm loving this already!

I did a whole lime the first time😶 I do not recommend this

The 5 second skippable ad being mint mobile was definitely good flavor

My friend got me a job as a mixologist at a time i was really desperate for a job. Bro, its been smooth sailing since i found ur channel. Asante Sana.

I’d like to see a blind taste test on slapping the mint. Seems completely retarded 😂

May I know which variety of mint is best for making mojito?
