mojitop travels around the world in summer, and tries mojitos wherever we go!
This time we tried several mojitos in Italy - here comes the information of a mojito in Firenze!
La Congrega Lounge Bar:
Athmosphere: The "terrace" is the entrance of palace, with some of the paitings of the walls still there - and the bar itself is inside the place. You get a semi-open space with history! Quite magic, as the rest of the city! They play nice music in a moderate volume - enough to give the place some athmosphere and that the other's music doesn't bother you, but you can still talk to the people of your table.
Aperitivo: we missed it, but in this bar you can get depending on the evening a mojito for 5€ during aperitivo - along with some food!! (the Italian aperitivos consist of a buffet of food, you pay for the drinks and can help yourself with it).
The mojito : It was a good mojito - fresh, citric and big! A bit pricey (there's a 2€ surcharge for taking it in the "terrace) but a good experience overall! And a very sympathetic service :)
The ingredients were:
- Havana club rum
- Mint
- Cube-ices
- Lime
- Brown sugar
A good place to try mojitos and mostly to spend a relaxed time in Firenze!
