How would you decide the taste of a Bacardi Mojito? Is it smooth, crisp, refreshing, etc... Everything that goes along with it. And do you use mint sprigs or just a touch of mint flavoring? Thanks

A mojito is traditionally made of five ingredients: mint, rum, powdered sugar, lime juice, and club soda. Its combination of sweetness and refreshing citrus and mint flavors are intended to mask the potent kick of the rum.
The mojito is currently (in 2006) considered a highly fashionable drink. Its popularity is evidenced by its prominent role in recent Bacardi advertisements.

Refreshing is cliche, but oh so fricken correct. The mint makes it so. It is earthy because of the herbage, which absolutely demands that you use not only fresh mint, but course raw sugar, not too much, enough to muddle the mint. Bacardi, a safe choice, but I prefer to be edgy and make them with Myers Dark Rum. Gives it a a full bodied flavor and darker coloration. Yum!
As usual, here to serve the universe...

I would say a Sweet, Crisp, Refreshing drink.
It has Sugar Cane Syrup-Crushed Mint Leaves-White Rum-Club Soda(or Sprite)-and Lime
I used to garnish with a piece of sugar cane and a mint sprigs..
The recipe I attached is a little different!

mint flavoring would make a mojito NOT a mojito.
You use real mint leaves crushed with the ice to make it authentic. It's very refreshing.

Ah yes, mojito. Mint leafs must be crushed. Never used blender or food processor on the leafs. Just use your hands to crush the leaves.

Actually, I would use Ron Matusalem rum. It is much creamier.
1 oz of fresh lime juice, 1/2 oz. liquid sugar, fresh mint leaves, 1 1/2 oz. Matusalem rum. Muddle all ingredients, add ice and top with soda. Very refreshing drink

it tastes like a lime shakeup. similar to that of a lemonade shakeup that you would get at a festival. if it is made right. you definitely want to use bacardi. it is very smooth and refreshing and you definitely want to use mint sprigs instead of flavoring.

How about intoxicating? Sorry I just couldn't resist. And I've not even tasted a Mojito.

use actual mint sprigs, and squeezed lime with rind in the glass and a touch of sugar cane juice... add my Bacardi ("coca" to be exact)... shake it all up, strain and pour in glass filled with ice... top with lemon-lime sprite soda (make it bubbly)... serve!
My real smooth Mohito Cuban!
