MOJITOP.COM is just a group of friends rooted in Barcelona, who would like to contribute to improve the level of the mojitos in the city.
We like to do expeditions in the city, and sometimes we invite the blog followers.
If you have suggestions, you are more than welcome to share them with us too!
We like to "conquer" Bars, which means to visit them and evaluate their mojitos.
About barris, we often visit Gràcia, Poble Sec, Raval and Born, but we've also been to more exotic places like Eixample and Barceloneta.
To explore all the possibilities, we also try out different recipes for mojitos and their variations.
Also from time to time we'll report on curisities related to mojitos, like the mojitos we taste in other cities.
Interviews and stories about interesting people are in this blog.

FIRENZE - La Congrega: They also know how to prepare a Mojito in Tuscany!

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!

Mojitos en Riga: están a la altura!

Hoy toca Riga. Hola desde el piso 26 del hotel Radisson!

Las vistas son espectaculares, el ambiente impecable y los mojitos....de 10!! en serio, son de vértigo (igual que el ascensor transparente uuuu).

Hemos pedido dos especialidades que tienen de Bacardi: dark mojito (que seria el normal) y razz mojito (de frambuesa). Los dos son de talla grande, vienen en vaso de cocktelera, con mucha fruta y sabores muy completos y equilibrados.

Y el precio no es como para tirarse del piso 26: 4,25 lats cada uno. Aproximadamente 6 eur, más que razonables por estar en un bar de lujo con un mojito de lujo.

Raspberry mojito in Helsinki

In the spectacular Ateljee Bar on top of Torni hotel, we are enjoying a raspberry mojito and the view of the notsoooospectacularfromthisside Helsinki skyline. Thanks Jos for the hint!

The mojito is ok, goes down smoothly. The headache comes with the bill - 12,60€.

Aquesta web promet: Infococktails.com

L'altre dia a la ràdio, en una entrevista a un cockteler professional, parlaven d'aquesta web i em van picar la curiositat. Quina pena en veure que www.Infococktails.com encara està en construcció.... però... sembla que promet! Stay tuned!
