In addition, I now find myself unable to see Mojo's nick without reading it "Mojito."
Further, I'm bored stiff.

The best mojito in the US is at a restaurant in Dallas called La Duni Latin Cafe ( drink menu pdf link). (The food and dessert are excellent, too!). I watched the bartender make one. First he added some sugar syrup and 4 - 6 whole mint leaves to the glass. Then he rolled a whole lime between his palm and cutting board (to release the juices from the pulp) before halving it and squeezing the juice of one half in. Then he muddled the contents of the glass gently, just enough to bruise the leaves and release flavor. Next he cut the half lime into wedges and added it to the glass along with crushed ice. Next came rum and some sort of fizzy drink -- not sure if club soda or something else. I tell ya, it's all in the muddling and the proportions of the liquid. I've come close making mojitos myself and ordering from other restaurants, but never as good as made there.

Peter........You must have been reading my mind..........La Duni does have the best Mojitos I've had to this point. Get a hold of me next time you're in town and we'll go have a few....my treat.

Bray, I'd love to, but my job no longer takes me to Dallas (or anywhere other than San Francisco). Ken is your best bet now, and that place is right up his alley.
