Refreshing Citrus

Mojito Extra es una variación más audaz del Mojito clásico, utilizando ron oscuro jamaicano en lugar de ron blanco y añadiendo Angostura Bitters para una capa adicional de complejidad. El jugo de limón sustituye a la lima tradicional, aportando un perfil cítrico ligeramente diferente, mientras que los bitters aportan especias y profundidad. El resultado es una versión más rica y compleja del original refrescante.

History & Origins

Mojito Extra is a modern bartender's riff on the classic Cuban Mojito, adapting the recipe to incorporate Jamaican dark rum, which carries a more pronounced molasses and fruit character than traditional Cuban light rum. The addition of Angostura Bitters reflects the contemporary craft cocktail movement's interest in layering aromatic complexity into classic templates. Its specific origin is disputed and no single creator is credited.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Deep molasses and tropical fruit from the Jamaican dark rum, with fresh mint and citrus. Palate: Richer and more complex than a standard Mojito, with earthy rum depth, bright lemon acidity, cool mint, and spiced bitterness from the Angostura. Finish: Warm and herbaceous with a spice-forward bitters note lingering.

Pro Tip

Add the Angostura Bitters as a float on top of the finished drink rather than mixing them in, to create a visually striking layer and a more concentrated aromatic nose.
