Mojito

I'm having a BBQ in a couple of days and I'm gonna make mojito's ( " No, I don't think it's a gay drink ... Mo .. ji .. tooooo" )

anyhow, I found a good recipe on wikipedia but I was wondering, is there a way to make larger quantities than just one glass at a time, does anybody have some nice tips, ...

basically you know anything useful about mojito's, sharing is caring

Re: Mojito

How can you mix BBQ (barbeque, right?) with mojitos? We had a BBQ on Sunday night and we drunk beer or wine at first and then went on with good ol' whiskey.

Now about the cocktail. I have experiment with cocktails over the years and i gurantee that only if you make one drink at a time you will get the best results! Playing with big quantities is not always safe, plus the fact that all the experienced barmen make one drink at a time, too!

My tip is on serving. Even if you don't get the best result, a nice surving (nice glass and mint leaves) will definitely boost it! Especially if there are girls there too!

Have fun! Enjoy as much as you can!

Re: Mojito

Mojitos are one of my favorite drinks, nothing "GAY" about it buddy!!!
Not a traditional BBQ drink but certainly a good choice non the less, try Sangria usually a good BBQ mix, fairly refreshing.

As for quantity size mix of a Mojito, thats a no no. Has too be done individually due too the mint and sugar mix.

Re: Mojito

Man I love some mojitos. As for making them in a batch...it depends. Do you just want a mojito type of drink or do you want an actual mojito. Making them in large quantity you sacrifice quality.

Re: Mojito

ah mojito, probably my favourite summer drink after ice cold ale. here's a few recipes you can try out for different variations. Extratasty - Recipes tagged mojito
i still like the original but if you have female guests coming, i find that they tend to prefer some different flavours. sangrias pretty good too if you're considering making drinks in batches.
