This is the 3rd mojito I made today for my wife at home, following different methods, and I have to say this is by far the tastiest. She loves it, cheers!
Yega that’s awesome!! Nice one 👌👌
add 3/4 oz of limoncello at the end, it willl change everything
Lucky wife
@@maxrajryan I'm thinking lucky husband ;))
@@Mark_Nadams I'm thinking the same. And then my husband will say oh yeah, it's date night. HA!
I’ve been growing mint for the purpose of making mojitos. It’s a hot day in quarantined South Florida, so today is the day.
what is the liquid sugar he used? any top brand names? or did he make it himself?
You can just simply mix sugar with waiter and boil it. Then you’ll get the syrup shown in the video
Life_seeker610 you’re a life saver
Florida man makes mojitos...
My mate from Florida always used to say 'tonight's the night'. I believe they made a TV series about him
Good recipe, me and my wife enjoy these so much, as we have like 40+ feet of mint growing everywhere all over our front and backyard.. It started out with a little itty bitty bunch I planted and now it just spread everywhere lol, we have so much we even supply our neighbors with it and a local supermarket as well..
same happened to us, in about two months it was everywhere
That's why we put ours in a pot 😂
Yeah be careful with mint. It spreads like a weed. Keep it contained in a pot or planter box, and separate from other herbs. I also learned the hard way! Cheers.
Best channel, simple , non pretentious way of making all the classic drinks
When I need a refresher on a classic, Steve is the only man I trust - no fuss, simple and great results.
Great recipe - and super delicious! I also like to muddle a few lime wedges with the mint, simple syrup and rum - gives a good balance and keeps it from getting too sweet. Cheers!
Absolutely spot on.
No undissolved sugar, no shredded mint, no large clumps of lime pulp getting slurped up, just nice clean flavors and a beautiful looking drink. And it's extremely fast to make consistently.
This is the only way bartenders make the mojitos in our bars. The only difference is we put double the amount of mint (I'm of the philosophy mojitos should be solidly minty, there's hardly anything more disappointing than an under minty mojito) and we firmly press down on the mint once it's in the glass (without muddling it breaking the leaves) and the garnishing is ofc a bit more elaborate.
How much mint should be in a mojito?
*Most Bartenders:* "A full mint leaf seems a bit excessive, so I'm going with one half of a small leaf. You don't want to actually taste the mint in this sparkling limeade."
*Steve:* "I have acquired one-third of the world's supply of mint for this one drink."
Most suggest like 12 leafs though
I love eating mints leaves
Just made Ruth Chris' Blueberry Mojito, and they piled in like 5. Delicious.
Mojito is one of my favorit cocktail.
I want to make mojito like this video.so cool!
It's nice that u showed a simple way to prepare the Mojito, which makes it tasty and refreshing.
Thanks...👍
I love to see your passion all over the years!
You have a very calm voice and demeanor.
Thanks Dave, pretty quiet for a big guy! :-)

Steve the Bartender Sober you mean....
Straya mate 🇦🇺
hottie
Lovely! Finally homemade Mojito. My favorite drink!
Enjoy! ;)
Made some last night and they taste fantastic! Thank you for the tutorial.
Hey Steve. Really enjoying the videos heaps. Normally a beer drinker myself but I'm about to hopefully venture into the world of bartending and you've become one of my favourite TH-camrs in just about a week. Being in Sydney it's nice to follow someone a bit more local than your typical Americans :)
Wow!!! Simple and easy. LOVE IT. Thanks.
So informative and easy to making .I learn and it's easy to make , Thank you Bartender Steve .
First time making my wife a mojito since she wanted to try one and she loved it. Thanks for the recipe and how to video!
You're welcome Steven! Glad your wife enjoyed the MOJITO! =)
Try muddling the leaves with actual sugar so the flavors really pop up
steve your video really helped me to do my mixology assignment.A big thumbs up from me.
This recipe turned out so good. Thank you. 👍
Steve, I have been a Mojito drinker for many years and have tried every incarnation but seemingly the simplest, yours. No more fancy techniques for this rumphile, I will be making my Mojito's with this method from now on. Thanks to your instructions I now have my go to Mojito. Cheers and thank you again!
Just had this for my 21st birthday. Really great. Especially very cold!
Thank u nice and simple!! Can't wait to try!!!
I am new to this and plan on watching all your "how to make" videos, I wish you had a playlist of just those so they would just keep auto-playing one after another.
That's one of my favorite classic cocktails, thanks! !!
You are just amazing! My mojito was fantastic. Just followed your video. Did 2 little changes, lesser sugar syrup and added crushed strawberries. :)
I like that you dont muddle the mint. It bruises the leaves. And makes the drink bitter instead of refreshing.. well done
Great & simple! Thanks for sharing a recipe. Gone to try it
Absolutely gorgeous, on our 3rd one 😂😂. We ran out of limes so used lemons, just as good . Thanks for the recipe, so easy to follow.
No it is not. Wait and go buy limes
Gamechanger. Seriously the best mojito recipe ever. Been chasing this flavour for years. Cant believe its so simple. Mojito is my favourite cocktail but stopped buying as been served rubbish or barman's "version". The other let down is premix which you seem to get served on holiday. I couldn't believe how pro this tasted. Happy
I have seen 7 video until I find yours which is the right way to do a mojito!!!
Thank you for sharing
Most welcome BNJ - glad you enjoyed the vid!
I've just started working as a barmen and I'm loving the videos.!!
Always a great Tutorial. great Job man keep going !!
Got a small garden of spearmint so naturally mojitos are an instant favorite for me
Swiss Roll you need to share. Lol
Same here we have so much mint we actuallt supply a super market and our neighbors with it.. All I did was grow one small little bunch of mint and kept it well wet all the time, now I litteraly have about 40+ feet of mint growing wildly and beautifully all over.. Along with fresh banana trees and papaya trees, and chili trees of all kinds..
Good simple demonstration, well delivered
Thank you Happy new year 2023!
always my favourit drinks and i enjoy to do it😎
Thanks for making the video short sweet and basic. This one helped. I can't stand watching a 10min video on a 3 ingredient drink. Thanks
One of my favourite drink... I will make it at home... thanks for sharing!!
Wow I'm going to make it today and plus it's weekend, I wished you were a singer too lol your voice flavors the drink... cheers
This was exactly what I was looking for, thank you.
Interesting. This is really quick. I typically muddle my mint and fresh limes with a little sugar before adding rum and soda water
If you have the time I recommend using crushed lime skin. It's where most of that fresh 'lime' flavor actually is. If you only use the juice you're missing out on a lot of flavor.
I usually use brown sugar and crush the mint with it, then add fresh lime juice and mix. Then I add the bacardi and some sparkling water and some mint for decoration😋👌🏽
This recipe never fails! 👍🍾🍾🍾
Fantastic mojito recipe! The only one I'll use from now on
I muddle the mint leaves with simple syrup then add the white rum and lime juice. Much better this way. But make sure you do not over muddle 👍🏼
Yeah, I muddle the mint with the rum which gives the same results. I don't want some bartender slapping the ingredients of my drink.
thanks is easy made and delicious
That looks really good. I love mint, I love fresh lemonade. Rum isn't bad. Anyway I'll have to order one of these eventually.
Excellent video, thanks
I think I choose to watch these instead of meditating because you're beautiful to look at and have a calming voice 🤔
Haha - thanks! 😊
I’m not even old enough to drink you’re just a cool dude who knows how to make relaxing videos
Thanks bms for helping me learn to love mojitos
Excellent. Wray & Nephew and fresh lime make this a banger!
This video is relaxing😌
It is amazing how much Steve's vids have changed over 5 years. Oh and his muscles lol
I remember doing a mojito when back when I was a kid and my parents had a bar, used to try new cocktails every weekend and chill out with my buddies. Just catching up on the mojitos, gonna surprise my new spanish friends with my bartender skills hehe ;)
thank you , you have save me for my test
you'll still have a test when you sober up
Steve...it was great! Simple and fast. Nothing fancy and it does the job. My peeps loved it and thats what matters. keep it up! :)
Thanks Jon! Stay tuned for more vids!!
I think that I just want to keep watching these videos because of your accent 😍
I prefer a vigorous stir of the syrup, lime juice, mint, and rum, before adding the ice and soda, and stir only a few times after adding them. That way you can get a even stir, releasing the mint flavor while still maintain a nice fizz from the soda.
Oh I just love lovely glass of mojito. 💯💯💯👍👍👍
I learned mine in Miami, closest i could get to Cuba without actually going. Great video!
My favorite cocktail
Indeed very easy and fasted 👍 thanks
You rock dude!
Looks yummy n fantastic 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you so much. I had bought the ingredients but when I got home I thought how do I make Mojito’s. I did have the thought I want Bacardi White. So I had bought this too. I enjoyed the instructions. ❤️👍🏻😇
Glad you enjoyed the vid Texas Gal 👌
For some reason i like also the version with half lime cut in 4pieces with a tbs of brown sugar muddle, slap mint, add ice ,rum, churn and top up with soda. But I guess lime juice and simple syrup work well too.
Brilliant video mate
Thanks Ermilo!
A little specification: They put first ice and rum directly on ice. They say, this make a reaction between rum and ice and the taste is more pronounced. I don't see a difference but I make like this every time :). Good luck!
Thanks. Hopefully mine’s come out good.
Thanks I love your recipe
Glad you enjoyed it! 😎
Such a pretty drink.
Hey man good job on your cocktail I really enjoyed it but I usually make the Mojito cocktail with fresh lemon inside a glass it taste better 😎
Hi Steve I've following you channel for the month or so really nice videos. I've started making them and I really enjoy it. Just a quick question I saw you pina colada video and made it at home using a blender the drink came out well but after a while the liquid kinda separated and settled at the bottom. Anything I might've done wrong for this to happen.
How long did you let the drink sit?
Mojito Season has not been cancelled. Just purchased Mojito mint at the garden centre.
Hey Steve, big fan, sorry for the comment on the old vid but wondering why do you use two straws? Aesthetics? Air flow? Keep up the good work, cheers!
No worries - good to see that people are still watching the oldies :) I've always done two straws for cocktails, it's a habit but I do think you can get more liquid and therefore more flavour with two (or a large straw instead)...
mojito with lime, sweet mimosa, pina colada im drunk in you~~
I’ve made six already… They make me feel happy:-)!
Do you prefer to use Mojito Mint or reg spearmint/peppermint to make a mojito?
I was searching for a song but I found this. Good job!
Haha, what song were you searching for?
@@StevetheBartender_ th-cam.com/video/chA8jc-EtIo/w-d-xo.html
Wow . very refreshing drink
Mojitos are the epitome of a refreshing cocktail! =)
Fast and effective recipe! Suppose by using freshly squeezed lime you can make the most of the limes you have rather than losing some of the juice thats kept inside muddled pieces?
mojito and LIIT is the best cocktail that I can drink more then 12 round. thank for the lesson bro. awesome cheers!!
Realy good style mojito
Thanks Luis!
I have a friend that adds lemon pieces in the mojito. I told her the mojito doesn’t have lemon but she says I am wrong. It tastes good but I think is a mix of “mojito /caipirinha)🤷🏽♀️
Fantastic sir
I like to make them with fresh limes, cane sugar and Sparkling water. I never tare my leaves, only clap them. They tend to stick in your straw. Awesome vid!!
Sounds like you know what you are doing - I'm keen to try your Mojito!
New Subscriber. I like your channel keep the vids coming!
Thank You very useful video !
Welcome Irish Dad!
@@StevetheBartender_ your recipe and technique has been a big hit thanks !
Loved and 'liked' your video. But also really love the background music. Can you tell me what that is bro?
@@StevetheBartender_ Cool thanks man! Keep makin' good vids for us :)
i think it is the easiest of them all
I loved ur video's
For people who love this drink and want to make it faster but don’t care about appearance make mint syrup from real mint, just add the mint to your simple syrup and your done. The drink will look darker but hell of a lot easier and the syrup lives a long time if stored in the fridge, try it.
So true! Especially for the summer months when the mint loses it's freshness even quicker!
Hi Steve. Thanks for the video.l May i know what kind of soda has been used for it?? appreciated if you can adivse the name of soda product??
bacardi gold rum is also good for this but i use it in my new drink i made the key lime pie cocktail
Name of the song, please? :)
You make style very much
Yummmm!
