Mojito glasses

A mojito needs volume: mint, half a lime cut into wedges, crushed ice, and the drink itself quickly add up to 35 to 45 cl. Choose a sturdy glass with a thicker base - that is where you muddle the mint and lime safely. A glass that is too light is not an option for this cocktail: the muddler always wins that fight. Also check out our long drink glasses for suitable alternatives. This is how Havana makes it: gently muddle 8 to 10 mint leaves with 2 teaspoons of cane sugar and the juice of half a lime - muddle, don't grind, or bitter compounds will be released. Fill the glass with crushed ice, pour in 5 cl white rum, stir from the bottom up, and top with sparkling water. Garnish with a generous mint sprig, briefly slapped against your palm to release the aroma.

Mojitos are made with crushed ice: it cools faster, dilutes gradually, and keeps the mint and sugar nicely suspended. Bars use an ice crusher; at home, a clean tea towel and a rolling pin are enough - and honestly, crushing the ice is half the fun. Fill the glass generously and press down lightly: a good mojito contains more ice than liquid, which is exactly why it is so refreshing. As soon as the sun comes out, the mojito is inevitable - for many terraces, the cocktail of the season. Efficiency is everything then: pre-muddle mint and sugar in batches, work with a consistent assembly line, and make sure your glasses can keep up with the pace. Our hospitality models can be reordered by the box with volume discounts of up to 15%, so the season never runs out of glassware.

The mojito formula is endlessly adaptable: strawberry or raspberry mojitos for a sweet touch, a ginger mojito with ginger beer for some kick, and the virgin mojito - without rum - as the best alcohol-free cocktail there is. Even a winter version with apple and cinnamon works. The same glass works for all of them, making a mojito stock one of the most versatile staples in your bar. No good mint, no mojito. Buy fresh bunches or - better yet - grow a mint plant on the patio or windowsill: it grows like wildfire and is inexhaustible in season. Use only the attractive tips for garnish, and keep mint with its stems in a glass of water, covered, in the refrigerator. That way, your supply stays fresh for days and every mojito is Instagram-worthy.
