[ampulka20]

facet strasznie odpychający swoim wyglądem, sorry ale nie było by napiwku chociaż była by to ambrozja.

[altair971]

pero que es esta porqueria!!

[mansfluxx]

Havana or not Bacardi !

[irvinglambertgrims]

this fucker uses way too much ice!!! no wonder drinks taste watered down lol

[strek0655]

EVERYBODY seem to be experts on mojitos. Now who the FUCK cares whether you muddle as long as it taste good?? Only hipsters!

[paintedd]

One of the most important things to do is muddle the mint and lime together. This is not the right way to make a mojito.

[Aztekloko24]

im sorry but this is garbage

[tame1999]

IMO there's no substitute for muddling the mint and lime wedges together, even if it's a quick 3 second muddle. It seems to me that simply churning the two together doesn't do a thorough enough job of releasing and then blending two very distinct flavors. I also cut the amount of syrup in half and add a splash of triple sec (which may or may not get me flamed on here). This guys great though, regardless. Cheers!

[Immigrant312]

@tame1999 i've seen other people use triple sec as well

[Muy1n]

good stuff =]



[sweetasanut44]

wankers

[Dellorefy]

I would like to know with what i could change syrup, because in my country there is no like this one.

[thekrakenism]

@Dellorefy 1 cup water... 1 cup sugar.... simmer and stir till sugar dissolved... cool it and bottle it..... moving on... NEXT!

[CasinerodeSantiago]

Muddling mint on mojito is bar basics, do you want the flavor of the mint or not? Its like putting a peel without squeezing it, no point on putting it then. And it should'nt stick on your teeth if you know how to muddle it. Actually the very classic way to do a mojito won't leave the lime wedges into the glass but just use the juice. Very efficient service though

[littlehot]

woow, mojito with no muddling at all!! and he putting way too much ice n not enough soda.... if u muddle ur mint, n lime in simple syrup together and shake em with ice.... will come out much better mojito!!

[vladpalets]

hahaha jesus how much ice do you want man!

[MrGodOfWarful]

Is it ok to use only havana club anejo blanco ??

[Vicbartender1990]

Watch Eben freeman's video on how to make a mojito. Eben is a real bartender.

[toshiba2606]

@Vicbartender1990 Eben is a joke comparing to this Master bartender !!

shaker bar school ,the best !

[ratc1]

Thanks for sharing these videos. I'm not into bartender, nor do I have bartender friends, so these videos help a great deal, then I'll adapt them to suit my taste :)

For all those complaining this is not the correct way to make a Mojito I'd like to say that you sound like you're arguing what's the "correct" position to make sex, it's silly, there are loads of them! ;)

[thekrakenism]

a mojito perfectly done

thank you very much for the quite fast yet very informative video.

I personally tried a mojito at a bar in Switzerland... every sip I took had me crunching a little bit on some sugar..I do not know if it was supposed to be like so I simply liked that idea and I loved the mojito for it.

please keep up the good work, chef... thank you

[123rouven123]

not classic

[shittyfuck]

he is rush.

[rudendrunk]

you have NO IDEA how many people cannot make this simple drink! Thank you for this video, i hope people can finally understand how a PROPER mojito is made! SHEESH!

[AintNoCrime]

"A little slap to wake it up", haha I like that!

Nice video. :)

[scottmbolt]

Horrible recipie. The mint doesn't even get incorporated that well into the drink, and he turned all of that crushed ice into a Slurpee.

[hellohello66666]

oh god that is shit, hes turned it into a slush puppy

[luchetto51]

The finger is not use on the glass,is not clean

[PioCymbals08]

Thanks for the video and the comments! I am new to this hobby and kept wondering why my mojitos and mint juleps were always bitter.

[loveyabelle]

stupid guy with bad mojito recipe

[ladydiannecruz]

whats best to use, crushed ice or block ice? its always been an issue.

[cv05c]

Want to say, great mojito recipe and demo, look forward to making this drink.

One question I have is some of the true cuban versions of this recipe call for a dash of bitters. Is this a common thing and would you recommend it?

Thanks, CHEERS!

[moonra84]

Not good

[BIZ3LE]

personally i think he has done that well, cant see a problem what so ever. just havannah club 3 year rum...but thats my preference on rum

[flairforever]

he does right r u fucking kidding me??? i watch all his videos and the guy just sucks!!! ive been behind the 7 years now so i can tell you...HE SUCKS

[pjkw47]

@flairforever

so, you've been behind the bar for 7 years now and clearly you still dont know anything... in what way does he suck? because he's doing an instructional video and not throwing bottles around all over the place? please, grow up

[trentbo]

7 years... need a medal? this bloke does a great job with the demonstration videos.. yes there are a heap of different ways to make the same drink, unfortunately there are a heap of fuckwits like yourself that feel they have to shoot someone down to make them feel like the worlds greatest tender. nice one

[mrdouglasrm5]

So Im am sick of the jelously and childish comments. These are great basic, classic, upper end recipes. First you should post the number of years you've been behind the bar, and what you gross in alcohol sales per night. Then maybe respectfully suggest alternatives. So many fake bartenders giving lame, ivory tower, advice its shameful.

[MrTrippillo]

Everyone is barman here...He does it right and that's enough :)

[TheJoshbigosh]

This guy always uses waaay to much ice

[mazafuzle]

slap the garnish to wae it up WHAT THE FUCK

[OHHfuckit]

it breaks some of the cells on the surface and releases the mint oil

[mazafuzle]

ooo ok sorry

[efendioL]

yok yok senden adam olmaz tipin de kayık ztn

[shlokda]

Just curious, why doesn't the mint get muddled with the lime and sugar in the beginning?

[stephenTcartwright]

@shlokda

If you're working on a high traffic bar then you dnt have time to muddle, shake, strain, prep and serve so you do it in the glass like this. At the end of the day, it's entirely up to you what you do. but one thing i would change is the rum. havana club 3 makes my fave mojito.

[pjkw47]

@stephenTcartwright

if you muddle mint and rip it to shreds, you release the chlorophyll and other chemicals in the cells which have have a very bitter taste

[lqprimetime]

BTW ive seen more videos where people are saying "looks nasty" and whatever.

"it looks awfull

i think it tasts awfull too:O

SUCKER "

Man mojitos are GOOD, theres way worse harsh drinks. And his mojito actually looks way better than muddle mint versions(both are good tho).

[lqprimetime]

This is i guess his fast way, he has other videos and he does muddle and stuff. This is him doing it very fast.

The thing is there, i guess, is a ton of diff ways to make it, ultimatly its gunna be similar.

The one thing i do like out of miles' way is it preserves the mint better, looks like a nicer drink, no bits floating.

His other version he muddles lime and sugar, and then ices it and then either adds the mint or the rum and churns, then adds more ice and soda water.

[Slothen]

That's one shit, but fast and money making, Mojito!

BUT

It's original made with Barcardi Blanco (now called superior)

[PkBrekes]

haha crap:D read the original recipie :D or if its a fantasia mojito dont call it mojito...

[evecomm]

Oh year one more thing, ran out of space - BARCARDI?????? Where's he coming from with that??????

[riuxriux]

don't take me wrong, i do also think the mojito in this vid is shit, but i must note that the original mojito was made using bacardi.

[evecomm]

Mojito in 1 minute, great if you're the boss and time is money, but what if they then try and charge you £10?? I make them like that when I'm a bit worse for wear late on in the night / morning. Where's the love gone? Muddle the lime, mint on the bottom at all times or else it just rises like it did in the vid. I've lived in South America for a while and sugar water isn't the kind of stuff I'd like to see being served up in a cocktail bar it's cheating. He plugs it alot, he must be commission.

[shlokda]

what happened to muddling asshole.

[88joep88]

FACKING BAD!

it looks awfull

i think it tasts awfull too:O

SUCKER

[maxismx]

It gets Trickly after 12 o'clock . . short of time for everything, in that point, i should say: "usefull without loosing style"

But Not good the mint, not good the dash of soda neither

[febb837]

che cagata

[gaddoanzola]

I don't really like this way to prepare mojito!

[BAY868]

i usually start by muddling mint, lime juice, simple syrup, and a small amount of crushed ice to begin with, then i add the rum and soda water, shake it, and top it off with a touch of sprite and garnish. sounds better?

[Reak55]

You never ever shake a mojito ESPECIALLY when you have added soda, that goes with any drink, you dont shake carbonated ingridients.

[BAY868]

good call actually. shake before soda water

[Portionsbutter]

i agree with you. i just squeeze and strain the fresh lime juice into the glass, put the brown sugar in and stir until it's solved. then i slightly muddle 1 or 2 mintsprigs in the glass,fill it with ice and pour over rum and soda.

[TheMcPhisto]

Just Perfect !!

[TimoJulz]

Great job!

Question though, I thought you were supposed to muddle the sugar & mint together?! Or is that just a variation?

I don't mean this question as an insult - just as a genuine inquiry!

5 STARS!

AWESOME!

=)

[shakertv]

There will always be a massive debate over muddling mint, the Bacardi way says to muddle the mint but over bruising mint leaves can cause them to taste bitter, and shred and no one wants bits of mint in their teeth. If you must muddle the mint, a couple of gentle twists will do the trick.

[whatYouBeenDrankinOn]

@TimoJulz He did sort of muddle the mint & sugar at about 40 secs into the video....

[whatYouBeenDrankinOn]

@TimoJulz

@TimoJulz He did sort of muddle the mint & sugar at about 40 secs into the video....

[2324lovely]

@TimoJulz NO YOU MUDDLE MINT JULIP

[kumaryder]

@TimoJulz

God knows, who actually said that we need to muddle the sugar, mint & lime!! After all, mint's fragrance is very powerful!! I believe that we need to just stir the squeezed lime juice/zest with the mint leaves...and without bruising them....

[wushlc]

saw you in the citidrinking bar videos aswell, anyway good ol' london bartending here and there :)

[ZKSIK]

Very pro putting fingers into the glass !!! what about limes only 3 ??? min.5,6 otherwise you drinking only rum with crushed ice !

[shakertv]

CLEAN FINGERS! There is no point using loads of lime, lime is used to balance the drink if you use additional lime wedges then you will just have to add more sugar to balance it out. The main flavour of a mojito is mint, not lime, so extra wedges would mean extra mint, and with all this lime sugar and mint where do you plan on putting the rum? We are making a cocktail here not a salad.

[Chipm0nk14]

no the lime is for the zip and the refreshing part of the drink

[Escal0n]

Why didn't you just slap him in the face instead? :-)

[tame1999]

@shakertv Good point with regards to the lime. However, for those people here in the States who are generally not concerned with authenticity, lime is a much more agreeable taste than mint, so in that case I'd incline the balance of flavors more towards lime. What I typically make is a drink that has a strong rum base, complemented with equally strong lime/sugar flavors and a noticeable hint of mint. Also a bit more soda. I'm just using the average american bar-goer as a standard here.

[macca4545]

people have so many ways of making mojitos this version is not wrong its just there are other ways of making them for example some people like to muddle there mint with the lime n sugar but some people argue the mints taste is disguised by the lime juice. also some people like to use better rums such as havana especial. as long as ur customer is happy with it then uve made it right cos at the end of the day there the ones paying ur wage

[stepblep]

the only thing you did right was to put two straws in the drink

[qgbjwbgoihv]

è solo rum praticamente!! a 'mbriaconee!!

[cupidonal]

nice and fast .But you don.t think that is better to use an ounse?and more mint ?i don.t know my opinion .Also a litlle mudle before puting the ice

Anyway i like haw you prepare it .

In front of one client you have to put more soul in prepare the drink ,also a litlle smieling is not bad .

Good luck

[joey4giv]

I like that mint-clapping thing u were doin.

[HeraclitusFire]

In this video you used sugar water but i nthe city drinking vid you used brown sugar for a sweetener. What would you say is better?

[shakertv]

Its a matter of preference. Obviously granulated demerera is harder to disolve because of the ice, so from a taste point of view syrup is better, but i like to crunch on a bit of sugar in a Mojito so i use a dash of gomme and just under a barspoon of demerara. You really only need to use demerera if you want to chew the sugar, or if you are in a hot country (like Cuba) so the sugar dissolves easier.

[shakertv]

Hey there,

Its a personal thing really and bartenders and consumers vary greatly with the type of sugar used. Using syrup generally is a quicker more consistant way, however using granulated or demerara sugar will give a grittyness and difference in texture to the drink.

Try experiementing with all types of syrups and sugars, and flavoured sugars (vanilla, cinnamon, citrus)

hope this helps.

Shaker

[Chipm0nk14]

wheres the muddling with the lime sugar and mint

[JULIOZERO76]

pfffffffffffff he called that mojito no man in cuba and another places in america like mexico they prepare good mojitos but not like us like cubans keep trying maybe one day u make a good mojito

[strongfp]

I've been to cuba several times and been to alot of bars down there, only a few good tenders make them like this. Also only bars in Havana or high end resorts will make them like this.

[blair160677]

yes and no...prefer to put all liquid in highball first with mint, lightly stir to infuse liquid with mint flavour, add crushed ice, and churn to evenly distribute mint leaves throughout for presentatation and garnish as usual. makes a top drink people, try it out...

[coolguysimon]

Huh?, every mojito recipe I've seen and read states to MUDDLE! Just light enough to bring out the flavour!

[mariachi68]

sorry,but wrong way of making original mojito.10 to 12 leaves and dont forget to muddle them with the sugar.

[Avarax169]

Muddling the mint leaves makes them release bitter flavours which you don't want in your drink. Slightly bruising them through the ice like he did is absoluteley enough.

Also, muddling them will result in some tiny ripped off leave parts floating around in your drink, ready to rush up your straw. Ew. ;D
