ABOUT MOJITOP.COM BARS & MOJITOS RECIPES & CURIOSITIES

MOJITOP.COM is just a group of friends rooted in Barcelona, who would like to contribute to improve the level of the mojitos in the city.
We like to do expeditions in the city, and sometimes we invite the blog followers.
If you have suggestions, you are more than welcome to share them with us too!

We like to "conquer" Bars, which means to visit them and evaluate their mojitos.
About barris, we often visit Gràcia, Poble Sec, Raval and Born, but we've also been to more exotic places like Eixample and Barceloneta.

To explore all the possibilities, we also try out different recipes for mojitos and their variations.
Also from time to time we'll report on curisities related to mojitos, like the mojitos we taste in other cities.
Interviews and stories about interesting people are in this blog.

LA VINERIA

c/ Encarnació 38

Price: 5€

We visited tonight this little little bar in Gràcia. We knew it from before, but didn't recall trying its mojitos.

We want to highlight the great atmosphere its bartender (and owner, we believe) gives to it. You can eat a slice of pizza for just 1€ - and they had other offers but i didn't pay much attention to it.

About the mojitos:

Prepared on the spot

Crushed ice

Lime

Mint

White sugar

White rum

Ok, it didn't follow the pure traditional recipe (the bartender is italian, not cuban!) but the result was really nice. Quite sweet, a bit more of rum wouln't have been the worst thing, but it was nice and refreshing. The size was rather generous - and we got to see the end of the basketball match in the bar!!

Ah - - the bar is REALLY small, so it is not recommended for big groups.
