One day in Pasadena, me and a friend visited Mojitos. As with any restaurant we visit, I always order anything they considered a, “Signature” item. When our waiter asked us what we would like, and I inquired about their signature items, he simply pointed at the door and said, “Mojitos, it’s on the door.” When our drinks arrived, I was surprised by the flavor, or what I construed as lack of. My friend, seeing that I wasn’t impressed by the authenticity of the drink, proceeded to explain the spirit of a Mojito. She leaned forward as she tapped her glass and said, “You have to understand where this drink is coming from. When I am sitting on the beach in Miami, the sun is hot and the sea air is salty, a good Mojito is perfect because it’s not too sweet. You need something cold, clean, minty, and crisp to balance out the senses. That’s why this is a real Mojito, and not sweet like the other bars might make them.” That being said, I now understand two things. Thing number one: I now understand the spirit of a Mojito. Thing number two: I appreciate the value of going out to lunch with a friend. That’s what being social is all about. I would suggest you try both, Mojitos with a friend.
Addin: The Mojito had an “earthy” flavor. If mother nature had house guests, this is what she would have served. |
