Friday’s Ultimate Mojito
Nov 22nd, 2007 by Sean
We’ve already posted one mojito since we opened our doors, but now we’ve got another one. Mojitos may have originated in the Caribbean, but many commercial restaurants are catching on to their success. As we said in our earlier post on mojitos, they are very refreshing. Also, mint and lime tend to have strong flavors, so you can mix in more rum without noticing a large difference.
One such restaurant chain to catch on to the mojito craze is TGI Friday’s. In this case, they have the “Ultimate Mojito” as well as the “Top Shelf Mojito”. Turns out, they’re both the same drink. Surprise, surprise. I forgot to take a picture, but the mojito appeared in a tall glass in their menu, and came served in a wider cocktail glass. It didn’t change the flavor, but I was expecting a regular glass for it.
Friday’s takes a normal route in making it, using Bacardi Superior rum, real sugarcane, lime, and mint leaves. Unfortunately, the lime and mint flavor comes from a syrup. It would be nice if restaurants didn’t take shortcuts in all their drinks. In any case, the mojito had a great flavor to it. If you’ve got a Friday’s in town (and not a Cuban bar), go get one! What are you waiting for?
