Mojito Party
|
Throwing a Mojito Party is great fun! Summer is traditionally considered the best time of year
to throw a Mojito party. The fact the planet is warming makes any sunny day, any time of year great
for induldging in some cooling latin libations!
Mojitos are an excellent drink choice to cool warm days and evenings and are world famous
as refreshing beverages.
The key to an excellent Mojito is fresh ingredients. Muddling some fresh fruits, along with
sugar, mint and lime juice (the basic three non-alcoholic ingredients for making a Mojito)
and involving your guest in varying drink rounds at the party makes for an interactive party
experience. Each different from the previous one in taste, flavor and garnish! What fun!

Mojito Recipe
Ingredients:
- White sugar
- Mint leaves – fresh
- Lime juice
- Club soda
- White rum
- Crushed ice
Method of preparation:
Take a tall Collins glass and put in the mint leaves. Fresh mint from your garden is one of the best choices;
otherwise organic mint is also available at the grocery shops. Add the lime juice and white sugar and muddle the
ingredients well with the help of a pestle. Muddling blends the lime juice, sugar and fresh mint. Next
add the white rum as well as the crushed ice. For the topping add the lemon or lime flavored soda and stir well
again. For the garnish, use a sprig of mint leaves. The drink is a favorite at summer dinner parties. The Mojito
makes a perfect drink before and after dinner time.
Party Things:
When you throw a Mojito party, you will need the usual party accompaniments. Be sure to have bottled
water, some good music, delicious food - Pollo Asado en Cazuela, Pollo en salsa de frijol Negro, tamales, etc and
of course the Mojitos! Give your guests notice to arrive dressed and ready. Invite them to bring fresh
fruits, special sweetners or any other items that will contribute to the festivities. Summer apparel or a
summer masquerade could be planned! Such preparation breathes more life into each cocktail!
It helps to also decide on the recipes, to get all the ingredients for the different Mojito drinks organized in
advance. Take the help of your friends for muddling the ingredients or arranging necessary things for the party.
They should be more than willing to do so, after all it is a party!
Arrange for a barbeque outside or take the party indoors. Ensure that the drinks, food, Mojitos and the snacks
and bar games are well arranged, so that the guests are satiated and happy. It isn’t very difficult to throw a
Mojito party if you have everything organized in advance.
You could even organize some interesting games – dice, board or card, to make the party as interesting as ever.
Winners can be awarded with gifts or some extra shots of the drink, depending on what is decided! You could theme
the part around the drink and have your guests bring in anything that goes with the theme like customized board
games, lime shaped lemon bulbs and even centerpieces. Get the party rocking with flair and watch your guests elect
you ‘master of the Mojitos’!
