Mojitos en El Sortidor 1908 - no acompañan bien la comida

Dirección: Pl. del Sortidor 5, 08004 Barcelona

Hace sólo una semana o así que han puesto esta pizarra delante del restaurante El Sortidor 1908, un clásico del Poble Sec.

Como no podía ser de otra manera, Mojitop se ha arriesgado a probarlo...y....cagada pastoret! Muchas expectativas para nada!

El mojito está hecho con ron oscuro, menta añeja, dados de lima y mucha angustura. Todo envuelto en un vaso de plástico (quizás es porque son las fiestas de barrio, no nos precipitemos en la lapidación pública...), coronado con un par de cañitas fluorescentes. Se vende por 6€.

En total le pusimos de nota un 5 pelado. La verdad es que incluso compartiendo era difícil de beber!

El restaurante está muy bien, pero nuestra recomendación sería ir ahí a cenar y buscar otros sitios del barrio para tomar un buen mojito. El bar Só-lo, especialmente, está sólo (valga la redundancia jeje) a 3 minutos caminando.

Mojitos at Rossini - talked in to the trap

Adress: Plaça Real 13

Rossini is one of the restaurant/bars in the square that you are bound to pass if you venture in to the Gothic area. Simply put, it´s a tourist trap, but (of course) we got a "special price" (€5 including a free shot) from the guy on the square trying to fill the bar. So we put it through the test.


Despite being a small mojito made of cheap, white rum, it passed the "drinkable" level. Perhaps the small quantity of rum was a good feature. It contained lime and mint, and slightly crushed ice-cubes. It was a refreshing drink on a hot summer night, with a mildly said interesting view on the square at 3 am.

Price: €5
Grade: 5.17 (drinkable)

Microacció mojitera a la terrassa del MACBA

Post en directe des de la terrassa del macba! A la taula del costat de l'artista Benet Rossell wuuuuu

Després de visitar una exposició al MACBA ens hem parat a la seva terrassa per digerir tot l'art que hem contemplat i a prendre un mojito.
La terrassa és chillout total, amb mobiliari blanc i música suau. S'hi està bé...

I el mojito?? (us preguntareu)

Got mitjà (tamany nocilla), menta escassa i xuxurria, sucre blanc, llima fresca, gel de didals, bacardi i tònica schweppes. La preparació això sí molt delicada! Han posat les camyetes amb pinces!
El resultat és sosso però bebible. Total 6,5 de nota.

Com a conclusió: terrassa privilegiada i fresqueta que compensa en millorable mojito, que té sorprenenment un preu molt raonable (4€). Proveu-ho :-)

Mojitos al Cactusbar - quite good even if they use Negrita...

Passeig del Born, 30 - Barcelona

www.cactusbar.cat

8€

Following the recommendation of the Timeout magazine, we went to the passeig del Born to taste the mojitos of the Cactusbar.

The Cactusbar is on a corner, has a minuscule terrace and - attention, because this isn't too obvious if you don't know it - quite some space on the upper floor (that was almost empty the day we went there - and the rest of the bar was totally full). There's no bar-service on the upper floor, so you have to ask for your drink at the counter and take it upstairs with you - which allowed us to check out shamelessly the mojito preparation.

As their advertise the mojito (and the "Sex on the beach") as their speciality, they have a row of big glasses (they're boston-cocktail glasses) already prepared with the mix of mint (not too fresh...), lime and brown sugar. They add lemon juice (looked natural), Negrita-rum (bleujjjj) some siphon and crushed ice.

And they shake it (hence the boston-cocktail glass) - mojitos aren't supposed to be shaken, the sugar should be mixed with a spoon until totally solved.

The result isnt' bad, also not the best we ever had - if they improved their ingredients we might get a very good mojito even. The fact that it was BIG helped in the very

warm summer evening....

Its mojitop.com mark is 7.02, evaluated by 3 mojixp's and 1 mojiteur .

If you're around "El Born" it's not a bad option, although we prefer the mojito they serve at "Borneo" even when they can be a bit too small for thisty mojito-lovers.
