Playa Grande
The mojito is a drink built on freshness: mint, lime, a touch of sweetness, sparkling water and ice. Playa Grande's Facebook page lists mojitos right alongside cold draft beer and tequila shots.
What goes in a mojito?
- Fresh mint: gently pressed, not crushed, to release aroma without bitterness.
- Lime: bright, sour balance.
- Sweetener: to round out the citrus.
- Rum and soda: the classic base and a sparkling finish.
- Ice: plenty, to keep it cold and crisp.
The mixologist's technique
The key is gentle muddling. Press the mint just enough to wake up its oils, then build the drink over ice so every layer stays fresh. Over-muddling turns mint grassy and bitter.
What to eat with it
Mint and lime love seafood and fried foods. Try a mojito with aguachiles, ceviche tostadas or shrimp, or with tacos and chips and guacamole.
Not a mojito fan?
Try one of our handcrafted margaritas in cucumber, spicy pineapple, guava or mango.
