Jeffrey Morgenthaler and I must be on the same psychic wavelength because we both posted a bunch of stuff about Mojito’s today. The cool thing is that Jeffrey actually writes nice, helpful and articulate posts, whereas I post goofy videos and write about Orbit Mint Mojito Gum.

Jeffrey has a really nice post documenting some “do’s” and “don’t”s when it comes to making or ordering mojitos. Here are a few tips I would like to bring special attention to:

• Do use crushed ice in your mojitos. Crushed ice will melt faster, which is a good thing in a drink with such strong flavors. The extra surface area of crushed ice also means a colder drink.
• Do not over-muddle the mint, or muddle the lime with the ice cubes. These are strictly amateur moves.
• Do not order a mojito when there is a line at the bar. Your bartender is probably not going to put a lot of love into it. In fact, you might get just the opposite.
• Do not slurp down a mojito in less time than it took your bartender to make it. You’re probably already on the back burner for ordering it in the first place, and it’s going to be a while before you’re allowed another.

This is enough to get you started… now go read the whole list.
