Address: Lungo Lario Trieste 9, 22100 Como (Italy)After la Trattoria Toscana in Milan city, the 2nd moijto-stop in our short tour in Italy was in Como. There's where we had the chance to enjoy a great mojito "new fashion" by the "Lago de Como" (some km to the north of Milan, also known because George Clooney lives there)
Price: 5.50€ - 5€ during happy hour (from 18 to 21)
Average mark: 8 (max 10 points; evaluated by 3 mojixp's)
As you can see from the great mark - this was a GREAT mojito!!
The "new fashion" title came from the slight recipe change that they included - they used tonic water instead of soda which gave it a very nice bitter taste - similar to what other bars try to achieve by adding angostura. The result was very balanced, fresh and nice :)
The main characteristics of the mojito were:
- large glass
- crushed ice (which was superclear - made from very pure water we believe)
- fresh mint
- fresh lime (more than in most mojitos we've tried so far)
- tonic water
- white rum
- brown sugar
- 2 black straws
By the way, they has also Coconut Mojito in this bar (with Malibú)!. Maybe next time....
Very remarkably, this was the first time all evaluators agreed!! We all gave it the same mark, and a very high one for our standards - so no doubt, if you have the chance, visit the Como lake - which offers astonishing views, interesting bits of history, calm atmosphere with both water and mountains - and GREAT mojitos!!
PS: Thank you Becs!

oh my god. Transparency has little to do with purity. They boil the water before freezing it, to release al gases solved inside.
ReplyDeleteIf I ever get there, I'll have one mojito. Hope I'll agree
