--MOJITOP.COM--: Mojitos at SALAMBÓ

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.

Mojitos at SALAMBÓ - risky but great

Following the suggestion of the previous post from Anna, we finally conquered Salambó!

It is in Torrijos 51 (Gràcia), quite close to the Verdi Park Cinema. It is a good post-cinema option!

Details about the mojito:

Standard size in round glass
White rum: "Perlas"
Without lime
Fresh mint, squeezed (but not too much: it won't get inside your teeth)
2 black straws, each
Small ice cubes
Sugar, very well mixed with the rest
Angostura
With orange slices on the top! :-O
5€

It was indeed a risky mojito, and in the beginning we all looked at it disappointed....but it turned out to be really good! All the flavours were nicely mixed and the result was a very refreshing mojito.

Average mark: 7,25 (out of max 10 points; evaluated by 3 mojiexperts and 1 guest)

Also the bar is really recommendable. Its lower floor is for non-smokers and the top floor is for smokers. Also to be highlighted: nice music and free wifi!
