Mojitos @ Negroni - tasted like rum-tonic

Recently named the best cocktailbar in Barcelona by Time Out magazine, Negroni raises expectations. It's cool, black interior and classy bartenders, makes this an exquisite bar without being posh. The crowd was sipping on a variety of exciting, elegant cocktails, but we were there for our mission: mojitos.

Upon our first sip, we reacted with utter disappointment. This was a rum-tonic with lemon juice - far from the refreshing mint pleasure of the mojito. The acidity cut through the throat, killing any hint of mint. So although a great bar, it is not the place for mojitos. We will probably return to Negroni, but then to enjoy a Whisky Collins or Moscow Mule or another classy cocktail.

The ingredients:

- Fresh mint (stored in plastic box)
- 2 spoons of white sugar
- fresh lemon juice (a lot)
- Habana 3, white
- Schweppes Tonic
- Angostura
- Crushed ice, although with some "icebergs"
- Black straw
