Key West again

[442w30]

Re: Key West again

I am embarrassed to say I've never had a mojito - and this thread has taken a mature turn, however a mojito is:

2-3 oz Light rum
Juice of 1 Lime (1 oz)
2 tsp Sugar
2-4 Mint sprigs
Soda water

Folks say it is similar to a mexican martini, though I really don't see how.

That's it!

Bert - there's a bar up in the Tenderloin that makes great mojitos but I don't recall the name (that's how I know they were great). [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Key West again

I hate rum but mojitos are very good. Slightly sweet but not so sweet that you feel like you're going to hurl if you drink a few.

Re: Key West again

I'll have a Mojito, a Bombay Sapphire Martini, and a shot of Cazadores please!

Re: Key West again

Any stout drinkers here? I'd take a Guinness any day over light beers or Corona.

Cheers,
Nick

P.S. I heard about Mojitos through Family Guy...I'll have to concoct one some day.

Sounds like a slightly less gay mint julip [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I like boddingtons. If you have one before 11am it tastes like drinking runoff from an ash tray full of cigars and budweiser - it's all downhill from there [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Key West again

Yep, I love stout, IPAs, barley wine, pretty much anything that's not one of those pale yellow pisswater domestics.

Re: Key West again

Bud Light? I can't drink yellow beer anymore... Well, I do like Corona sometimes, but mostly I drink Guinness and Wicked Ale.

Every so often when I feel like getting into trouble I'll nurse on a bottle of Jack Daniels. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

That's how I heard of them, too. I just keep picturing Brian saying Mojito. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Key West again

not a big fan of Guinness, it's just too heavy. Although I hear that drinking it in Ireland makes all the difference (so say some of my world-travelling friends). I do like nice glass of Boddingtons or Newcastle Brown Ale. Or Toooheys Old - that's a beer you can sink your teeth into.

As far as amber fluids, we have some nice domestic ales here, so I drink them too. Not a fan of bitters though.

Re: Key West again

yeah I love mojitos.
I get one every time we hit the Cuban restaurant near here.

Yeah, Guinness in Ireland is different than what we get here in the states from what I understand. It's not even from Ireland, it's brewed in Canada.

One of my favorites is a porter, but I like Bock's, stouts and ales too...Just can't drink lagers too much. I think stouts ruined me for them.

I need to get off my ass and brew my own beer again. That's where the good stuff is.

Re: Key West again

You can get Mojitos just about any where down this way, They're actually not that bad. Since your gonna be in the Keys get a Rum runner or a Talking Parrot. Talking parrots are sweet & creep up on you.
