Cuban Mojito recipe

the original authentic recipe from Havana Cuba

1 teaspoon powdered sugar
Juice from 1 lime (2 ounces)
4 mint leaves

1 sprig of mint
Havana Club white Rum (2 ounces)
2 ounces club soda

There are countless recipes for the Mojito (prounced moh-HEE-toh), but this version is for the one Hemingway himself enjoyed at the Mojito’s place of birth: La Bodeguita del Medio in Havana, Cuba. If you are throwing a Cuban theme party (Havana night themed party), definitely plan on serving mojitos.

Place the mint leaves into a long mojito glass (often called a “collins” glass) and squeeze the juice from a cut lime over it. You’ll want about two ounces of lime juice, so it may not require all of the juice from a single lime. Add the powdered sugar, then gently smash the mint into the lime juice and sugar with a muddler (a long wooden device pictured below, though you can also use the back of a fork or spoon if one isn’t available). Add ice (preferably crushed) then add the rum and stir, and top off with the club soda (you can also mix the club soda in as per your taste). Garnish with a mint sprig.

** Optional ** While the following isn’t the authentic original Bodeguita del Medio Cuban recipe for a mojito, some people will take half of the juiced lime and cut into into four wedges to add to the glass. Another variation is to add Angostura bitters to cut the mojito’s sweetness, which is a popular version in Havana hotels although not the true Bodeguita recipe. Some Cubans also use “guarapo” in place of the powdered sugar, which is a sugar cane syrup available in some supermarkets or online Latin grocery stores.

Same here - I’ve got to choose between a genuine Romeo y Julieta or a Cohiba.

Note to Satan: make sure that the fires of hell are well-stoked for the new arrival.

Couey, Castro, um, who might the third “C” be, if things do, indeed, happen in threes?

There will be dancing in the streets in south Florida if this is true. Fat Mike Moore will be a Paul bearer.

Stay tuned and we'll see if we've been manipulated once again or if today is the birth date of Cuba's liberty.

Cuba isn't going to be liberated just because Castro dies. Castro has his brother and other cronies to keep things in Cuba pretty much as they are after he passes.

Reminds of a story from Pat Conroy about his father, the model for Bull Meacham...

Col Conroy was alerted for combat patrol over Cuba, to shoot down anything Castro put up in the air. This combat patrol was to be in support of the Bay of Pigs invasion. Of course it never happened but... As he left to report to the base Mrs Conroy was praying - praying for the souls of all the poor b*st*rds that Col Conroy was gonna blow out of the sky!

I don’t think he’ll ever be OFFICIALLY dead. He’ll be the Cuban Elvis- immortal, sighted at taco trucks 50 years from now.
If he does assume room temp, they’ll probably stuff him and prop him in front of cameras forever.
