What is the best style "muddler" to make a mojito?

Answer 1

The Cubans I've seen make it just use a long bar spoon and mush up the mint in the glass. I don't think it really matters what type of muddler you use really.

Answer 2

A collins (or highball) glass
A muddler (or spoon)
Crushed ice
2 oz fresh lime juice
4-12 mint leaves with stems
2 oz white rum (preferably at least 3 years old)
2 oz club soda
1 tsp powdered sugar
1 spring of mint
PREPARATION:
1. Put the mint leaves and the sugar in the bottom of the collins glass. Use the muddler (or the back of the spoon, if you don't have a muddler), to slightly crush the mint leaves. It should take about half a minute for the smell of mint to reach you.
2.Add the rum and the lime juice. Mix again using either the muddler or the spoon.
3. Fill the glass with crushed ice.
4. Stir in the club soda.
5. Use the spring of mint as garnish.
6. NOTE: It's said that the majority of people like adding a dash of Angostura bitters to the mojito mixture. The bitters, though, were not part of the Bodeguita del Medio's mojito recipe that Hemingway drank. Also, some people use 3 ounces of rum instead of two, and even though almost all recipes use only 4 mint leaves, there's a great possibility the Bodeguita del Medio might have used more than four.

Answer 3

tag bar makes a muddler that is my favorite of the 6 I own, they also have a bag to put the ice in to crush it by whacking it with the muddler
