A week ago, we went to Milano to visit a friend, and we were 3 mojiexperts, which in fact qualifies for an official evaluation. So we did it! But of course you won't see this in the official ranking (in the left bar), because even if they were good, they're not in Barcelona.
So, here comes the (un)official review:
Address: Corso Porta Ticinese 58, Milano (Italy)
In one of the crowded streets of Milan's nightlife, some friends drove us to the Trattoria Toscana. From the outside it is difficult to see, but it is a huge restaurant and bar. The trick is (I suppose it's due to the Italian stringent smoking restrictions), to find the bar one had to cross several rooms and corridors, to finally get to some kind of huge inner yard, half-roofed.
And this is the description of the mojito in la Trattoria Toscana:
- White rum Pampero
- Dark rum Bacardí
- Fresh lime
- Fresh mint
- Soda
- White sugar
- With 2 cherries! (that's something we had also seen in a bar in Barcelona)
- With a big orange straw
- Decorated with a folded orange napkin, which worked nice as insulation between the cold drink and the warm hands
- Big glass
- It costed 7 €
The evaluation was mixed, because the 3 mojitos we had were quite different (=1 of them was not very good). In average, it got a great 7.18 (out of maximum 10 points; evaluated by 3 mojiexperts and our Italian friend).
If the quality of the mojitos would have been more homogeneous, the evaluation would have been much better, because the mojitos that were good were really good. Besides, the looks were quite impressing, all decorated in orange.
Lessons learnt:
- orange matches green
- usually the mojitos with 2 rums are stronger (alcoholic-wise) than those with only one. We think that it's not because of the mix, but because the waiters pour more in liquid in the same time.
- great mojitos in Italy too, we can start a new mojitop/milano there when we finish with all the bars in Barcelona
