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!
