Mojitos

Postby tikihutguy » Sat Jul 09, 2011 5:47 pm

OK, I know this has appeared before, but I can't locate.... Does anyone know if they are currently able to do mojitos??? A favorite for the 2 of us but the lack of mint or whatever seems to limit availability.... :?

I hear ya, but I'm always amazed whether Dominican Republic Caribe or Desire Cancun that the lack of mint is an issue. Most places can't stop the spread of mint.... Maybe a tropical thing??? :?:

We had several during May. They crush the mint into the drink. Pretty tasty both at the jacuzzi and at the lobby bar.

Make sure you get a 'blended' mojito. They are far better imho. C.C and Carlos make them the best.

As the name would indicate, Blended is when all the ingredients, including the mint are thrown into the blender and it is poured like a slushy. This way there are little bits of mint in every sip. Definitely my favorite drink at Desire, Tied only with Purple rains . :D

Ask C.C for one and she will show you .... But if memory serves, it was blue curacao and grenadine for the purple colour, with Vodka, Lime & pineapple juice, and club soda to fill. Also served blended.

I like it because I am not a fan of all the sweet drinks that are so common at Desire. Caution though, they Will knock you on your butt after a few in the sun :shock:

Enjoy !

Thanks again Steve. We'll definitely try them, but I think I'll have Afrika bring them to the bed in case we do have the butt crash.... Cheers. Bob. :D :D
