With satisfaction breathing in the warm (ultimately!) July air, we are anticipating thirty-degree warm, beach, trips to nature and other summertime pleasures. Hot tea, which sometimes had to be warmed in June, will no more be required.
And therefore our glimpse falls on revitalizing beverages, which can be rejuvenated and also cheer up. The renowned Cuban beverage Mojito, that suched as to consume early in the morning, Ernest Hemingway, deals well with both of these jobs. The classical variation includes rum— they say that Mojito with a dual rum part was prepared for Hemingway— but also for those who do not consume alcohol (in the morning or generally), there is also a non-alcoholic option.
SHE contributors saw the Mojito festival in the «IL Patio» dining establishment, where barman Maxim Pohorukov showed how to prepare three sort of Cuban drink.
Master-class on preparation of 3 kinds of mojito from the bartender of the dining establishment «IL Patio»
Mojito is served with 2 alcoholic drink tubes. They perform not just a visual function— according to Maxim Pohorukov, the secondly can come in handy if someone intends to try your mojito.
Not everybody is ready to drink alcohol early in the early morning, so start with a non-alcoholic version. We require 2 sprigs of mint, half lime, 2 dessert spoons of sugar, ice as well as any soda (Bonakva, Perrier).
We cut off the mint leaves and reduced the lime cuts in half right into three parts.
We send out a mint to the glass for mojito, we placed the items of lime on top. Our task is to squash lime with mint so that they offer juice.
You can make use of any type of device at hand— a pestle, a moving pin or a crush for mashed potatoes. We will require this device in the next stage. Put a piece of ice on a napkin or towel … … cover the ice in a towel and also defeat it in addition to the picked tool. In such a straightforward way, you can squash ice at home.
The size of ice pieces must go to the very least 1-2 cm, otherwise you will certainly get snow. Pour the resulting ice into a glass. On top of sypem sugar. You can speed up the procedure by pre-preparing the sugar syrup if you are thirsty or a significant company wants to refresh up. To do this, mix the sugar with hot water in a proportion of 50 to 50. For 1 cup of mojito— 2 tsp. syrup. Fill with chilly soda water. We blend extensively, that the sugar is dissolved, and the lime juice is dispersed evenly.
Decorate with a piece of lime as well as mint(it is far better to make use of the top). Non-alcoholic mojito is ready. In order to prepare a strawberry mojito, you will require all the same components, plus strawberry berries. 3 huge berries must be considered one section. Cut the strawberries into four items. We spread it on mint and, once again using the device, we squeeze well, pressing all the juices from strawberry, lime and also mint. The series coincides— ice, sugar, soft drink. As well as the strawberry mojito already bids us with its scent and gently pink color. If you still make a decision to loosen up at night, you can make mojito with alcohol. We perform the previous manipulations, in addition we put 30 g of rum …
… and also 20 g of alcohol «Curacao». Decorations made from lime and also mint flawlessly set off the deep blue shade of the drink.Do not be stunned if after the mojito you will intend to dance a rumba or sing after the «Forbidden Drummers»: «Cuba is away, Cuba is near».
