I think what you said in the beginning is basically right. I made a mojito the other night using a Lithuanian spiced honey liqueur and it was really good. Can't really go too wrong with that foundation. 😆

[@stephens2241]

You haven't run out of mint? First bartender I've come across who hasn't

[@eyespy3001]

😂😂😂 Also, both the ice cream AND espresso machines are both broken, so…

[@breakerskoreanbbqsugarland]

I had that question for the limes. Mints have already been a rare commodity

[@brendanressler4359]

Do you think they might have just told you they were out of mint because they didn’t want to make a mojito?

[@breakerskoreanbbqsugarland]

Very possible. But why would they not want to make one?@@brendanressler4359

@@brendanressler4359Thats the joke.

"Uh, no" while the video ends on the recipe card with "Moginto" on top. Perfect! 😂 The editor ALWAYS gets the last word. 😉 😂😂😂

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Moginto wasn’t an editor mistake, it’s Marius’ first try at naming a cocktail 😂

[@WatanabeNoTsuna.]

@@TheEducatedBarfly Oh, I wasn't implying it was a mistake! It clearly was Marius saying "Oh, you don't like my name choice?! Too bad, it's going on the video!" 😂

[@MostlyUnreadArmchairExpert]

That giant tub of precut mint leaves is such a flex… I’d love to have one of this just show up at my house like once a week. (granted, there’s no way I could actually use that much mint, but it’d feel good know it was there)

[@AccursedSlug]

This is one of your best recent videos, Leandro. I have been a sub for close to 5 years and I love it when you show us your expertise, as you have the knowledge and experience to back your experiments and ideas up. The graphic of the saline solution was also great, there was no time wasted explaining to those who know and I think those who are new (and didn’t) got it right away. I hope you stay this course, because this video I think was appealing and actually valuable to really new and more settled-in home bartenders as well as new professionals!

[@StevetheBartender_]

The last one intrigues me! 🎉

[@RolfReibach]

I really like your take on this classic. On the other hand I still love my fizzed up light Mojitos on a hot day when I need some volume to sip and do not want to get hammered

[@cjmalooy7065]

Sir...I love all your content and I take notes about those 50 cocktails videos because I have class for bartending NCII and now I'm learning it because I really love to mix some cocktails and this is helpful but I don't have a bartending experience yet but still this is most helpful sir......

[@nosynchro]

Yes! Love the end of the video, the banter returns!

I love a Mojito and I love a QPS, definitely would love to try that last one you did.

[@downtime212]

Excellent video Leandro, cheers.

[@numanuma20]

I wish more cocktail channels would do a lot more highball drinks, drinks served in a highball or Collins glass. There are a ton out there that are not being talked about. You have the horse feather, ranch water, horse neck, americano, chilcano, Fred Collins, violet fizz etc.

[@christinecamley]

You are amazing Leandro!!! Fabulous video!!

[@that_si_chick7]

Good morning & I’m glad they came out with something that is in between Campari & Aperol! Thanks for finding it! I know this sounds stupid, but what about Amanhito? (Ah-man-hee-toe). My spelling is bad, but I tried lol

[@LyK0sa]

Have a look into the spice adams, it's a mojito riff I found fairly recently. Agricole base, falernum for sweetness, float of plantation stiggins. It's pretty good.

[@knuthelgegranhanssen5544]

A Ginito! 🤩 Looks good! 😁

[@TommyLindquist]

How about Regal Firmament? Looks beautiful and sounds delicious! Thanks for another great video, Leandro!

[@wordgiesworld5483]

I made one where I cut back on the mint and used a shot of silver rum and a shot of Cruzan dark cherry rum (some like it better with all cherry rum). Cheers!

Adding Amante 1530 to my list of spirits to try, been loving Pilla Select and Bordiga lately

[@nancycampbell7959]

Sorry, question out of left field. Have watched so many of your rum cocktail recipes, and was always curious about rhum agricole. There has never been any to be found where I live, until today. Got a bottle of Trois Rivières, Cuvée de l'océan, from Martinique. And have been re-watching all your rum videos. Do you know anything about this particular one?

[@MichaelSayer-sf7gu]

Liandro has been pushing his version of the mojito for years. He’s not wrong. It’s good

[@johnolmos8670]

I’ve made a Mojito Riff but instead of regular syrup I used Vanilla Syrup and also a little bit maybe a 1/4 oz fernet. I was gonna call it a Frisco Mojito but it’s actually not that far off from a regular one

[@haldendoerge]

Great format for this video, more like this would be great. But I do think that the gin version isn't very adventurous. Give me one with a high proof rye, or a brandy, or an aged mezcal, or something similarly interesting that pushes the boundaries of the template. Gin is botanical, sure, but at the end of the day it's just another neutral white spirit that doesn't introduce too much to the template. But, love the concept. I think doing similar things for other classic drinks would be a great idea.

[@unneomexaenlacocina9380]

Hi there Leandro, can you make a video about nixta liquor and chinese wines ?

this template reminds me a lot of the swizzles section of the Death and co. book. Lots of room to play with.

-1/2 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of water, bring both to boil, add 1/2 cup of mint leaves, simmer for 5 minutes, do not let turn brown

[@RahulKaushal1983]

A very random question perhaps - but what do you guys do with all the lovely cocktails you make? I am assuming you have a shoot-day and you make a lot of cocktails - do you drink all of them at the end of the day 😅

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

🤔

[@omara5079]

Since I bought the tropical standard I add 5 drops of saline to just about everything

[@DavidPluimer]

That comment complaining about the limes (my read: how inconsistent they are/how unjuicy) is EXACTLY why I'm a fan of super juice. Limes are a bigger variable than we talk about.

Do you keep your mint in the fridge or the freezer?

Hmmm, have always thought of a mojito as more of a mint drink than a lime drink - usually go for a big 3/4 oz or short 1 oz simple and short-to-regular 3/4 lime

No

Modifio?

[@robywar]

"As you drink the drink over 15 or 20 minutes" ...man you have some control

[@Whuditlooklike]

Your explanation of the role soda supposedly plays in a mojito seems to be missing the point. In practice, the only logical reason for adding soda water to a drink is to add effervescence. If it was simply a question of lengthening or diluting the drink, then regular water or ice would suffice. People can disagree whether a mojito should or shouldn't have soda water, but it's not debatable that the carbonation of soda is going to give a very different experience than melted ice.

[@numanuma20]

The bubbly water makes it fun looking. It’s why non serious wine drinkers enjoy sparkling wines at parties.

[@SpotofTeaPlease]

The written recipe for your version is missing the lime.

[@HomerMcPoT101]

Still no mention of the Bacardi vs Pernod battle. Instead in depth history of an ingredient not even used.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

I think it’s really wierd that you think a video on different mojitos should include info on the Bacardi Brand basically trying to steal the Havana Club trademark from Cubaexport and failed to do so. I think that would make for its own video. Have been prepping a video on Havana Club that seems like a better place for it
