Mojitos

We indulged at the Palms for our last night on the beach....we only had one drink each due to a baby in tow. The jazz band was setting up but we didn't get a chance to catch them. It was all good, and it didn't break the bank!

We had a full villa with kitchen for 10 days and saved money that way! Some people complain about the price of Red Stripe, so do what suits you...

Go and enjoy... :) You only live once!

Personally, I don't mind paying "up" for a quality cocktail. Do enough budgeting on a daily basis & refuse to do that while on vacation.

I'm Cuban too, although I've never lived there. I have traveled there, and of course those are the best mojitos I've ever had. However, I also had my share of crappy ones while there. I'll probably never get back to Cuba again so I see nothing wrong with enjoying them wherever I am, authentic or not. I also see nothing wrong with mixing in a different flavor to try something new. And yes, the drinks at The Palms were expensive, but have you seen the labor that goes into making one of those things?:eek:

I also make a pretty tasty mojito here in MD, even without access to hierba buena.;)

Thanks to all who mentioned our Mojitos. We also make wonderful Caipirinhas!

now that is good news, Aqua! ever since Monk mentioned Caipirinhas in this thread, I have wanted one! I will check you guys out soon!

good to know aqua!

Yes, Ken and Liz...I will be ordering a Caipirinha next trip...what brand of Cachaça do you use......I really love a good one....of course when I am at Aqua I am usually sippin' your many fine rums.

My Jamaican Mojito Recipe:

Appleton v/x or extra
Agave syrup
Fresh Mint

Muddle mint with crushed ice add syrup then add rum & shake it up, pour and enjoy.

Hi, I have not tried the one at the bar right now but it is called Cachaca 51. Should be good.
